System RequirementsThis document describes the system requirements for Cisco IOS 15.2S releases and includes the following sections:

• Feature Support, page 3

• Memory Recommendations, page 4

• Supported Hardware, page 5

• Determining the Software Version, page 6

• Upgrading to a New Software Release, page 6

Feature SupportCisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets that consist of software images that support specific platforms. The feature sets available for a specific platform depend on which Cisco IOS software images are included in a release. Each feature set contains specific Cisco IOS features.

Caution Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to 168-bit [3DES] data encryption feature sets) are subject to U.S. government export controls and have limited distribution. Strong encryption images to be installed outside the United States are likely to require an export license. Customer orders may be denied or subject to delay because of U.S. government regulations. When applicable, the purchaser/user must obtain local import and use authorizations for all encryption strengths. Please contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send an e-mail to [email protected].

Feature-to-image mapping is available through Cisco Feature Navigator. Cisco Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to determine which Cisco IOS software images support a specific set of features and which features are supported in a specific Cisco IOS image. You can search by feature or by feature set (software image). You can compare Cisco IOS software releases side-by-side to display both the features unique to each software release and the features that the releases have in common.

Cisco Feature Navigator is updated regularly when major Cisco IOS software releases and technology releases occur. For the most current information, go to the Cisco Feature Navigator home page at the following URL:

www.cisco.com/go/cfn

For help with Cisco Feature Navigator, see the help information at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/web/applicat/CFNTOOLS/Help_Docs/help/cfn_support.html

IS-IS BFD TLV

Platform: Cisco 7200

The IS-IS Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Tag Length Value (TLV) feature provides a faster method to detect a loss of an IS-IS adjacency. Before, when an IS-IS adjacency reached the UP state (and therefore could be used for forwarding), a BFD session needed to be established with that neighbor. Now, a BFD session is maintained as long as the hello holddown timer for the neighbor does not expire, which is new for BFD TLV. The BFD session is only deleted if the neighbor hello times out. If BFD signals to IS-IS that a session has gone DOWN, the adjacency associated with that session will transition to DOWN state. Once the BFD session goes back UP, the adjacency state can transition back to an UP state.

For a given IS-IS topology, IS-IS determines if BFD is usable for a given neighbor on that topology. BFD is not usable when BFD is enabled on both sides and the BFD session is down. When there are multiple BFD sessions enabled for different address families, such as IPv4 and IPv6, if BFD is not usable for any address family, then BFD is consider not usable for the entire adjacency on that topology. For example, if both IPv4 and IPv6 BFD are enabled for single topology, if either the IPv4 BFD session is down or IPv6 BFD session is down, the neighbor state will be set to DOWN state. If BFD is not enabled for a given address family, then BFD is considered usable for that address family.

For single topology mode, the neighbor state is down when either the IPv4 or IPv6 BFD session is not BFD usable, that is, if BFD is enabled on both sides and the BFD session is DOWN. If BFD is not enabled on either side, BFD will be set to TRUE. For multi-topology mode, IS-IS adjacency will be in UP state as long as any topology is UP. However, the neighbor for the topology where BFD is consider not usable is considered down for that specific topology. For example, if both IPv4 and IPv6 BFD are enabled, and the IPv4 session is DOWN and IPv6 session is UP, then the IS-IS adjacency is still UP. In this case, the IPv4 neighbor is considered DOWN and ipv6 neighbor is considered UP.

Important NotesThe following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 15.2S:

• Cisco IOS Behavior Changes, page 25

• Deferrals, page 29

• Field Notices and Bulletins, page 29

Cisco IOS Behavior Changes

Behavior changes describe the minor modifications to the way a device works that are sometimes introduced in a new software release. These changes typically occur during the course of resolving a software defect and are therefore not significant enough to warrant the creation of a standalone document. When behavior changes are introduced, existing documentation is updated with the changes described in these sections.

Behavior changes are provided for the following releases:

• Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S3, page 25

• Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S2, page 26

• Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S1, page 27

Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S3

The following behavior changes were introduced in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S3:

• Position of MP_REACH attribute in attributes list of BGP updates.

Old Behavior: If the BGP Enhanced Attribute Error Handling feature is enabled, BGP places the MP_REACH attribute (attribute 14) at the beginning of the attributes list while formatting an update. If the feature is not enabled, BGP places the MP_REACH attribute at the end of the attributes list, which makes handling a malformed update more difficult for neighbor routers that are doing enhanced error handling.

OL-26035-03 Rev. H0

Features and Important Notes for Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)SImportant Notes

New Behavior: Whether or not the BGP Enhanced Attribute Error Handling feature is enabled, BGP places the MP_REACH attribute (attribute 14) at the beginning of the attributes list while formatting an update. Enhanced error handling can function much more easily when the MP_REACH attribute is at the beginning of the attributes list.

• The SME default editor behavior is improved.

Old Behavior: When a command of editor-type editor is configured, the router would copy the default profile to the default editor if the default editor was not modified.

New Behavior: The editor-type editor command only changes the editor-type but never copies default profiles to default editors. If users want to reuse previous profile configurations, they can use the test sbc profile-to-editor sip which helps to generate editor configurations from the profile.

• Initial INVITE with 0.0.0.0 call flow is supported.

Old Behavior: Initial INVITE with 0.0.0.0 is not supported unless ACK contains valid a IP address.

New Behavior: This call flow is supported.

• The NHRP syslog error message includes the IP address of the node where the error originates

Old Behavior: The NHRP syslog error message does not include the IP address of the node where the error originates, the source NBMA, and the destination address.

New Behavior: The NHRP syslog error message includes the IP address of the node where the error originates, the source NBMA, and the destination address.

• A CLI “rtp-media-loop count” is introduced to control the maximum loop count before media packets are dropped.

Old Behavior: For IP-IP calls, there was no mechanism to limit the number of possible media loops before the media packets are dropped.

New Behavior: A CLI “rtp-media-loop count” is provisioned globally under voice service voip configuration mode to control the maximum loop count before media packets are dropped.

Addtional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/voice/vcr3/vcr-r1.html

• The interworking vlan command for VPLS is now working.

Old Behavior: The interworking vlan command does not work, which causes traffic failure.

New Behavior: The interworking vlan command is now working. However, you must enter the clear mpls ldp neighbor * command before using the interworking vlan command the first time.

Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S1

The following behavior changes were introduced in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S1:

• The show aaa servers command output displays estimated Outstanding/throttled access/accounting transactions.

Old Behavior: Outstanding access transactions are left unprocessed on RADIUS server.

New Behavior: The show aaa servers command output displays the number of access, authorization, and accounting requests and estimated outstanding/throttled access/accounting transactions that are being processed. The clear aaa counters servers all command clears all counters except estimated outstanding/throttled access/accounting transactions. These values will automatically reduce.

1. neighbor remove-private-as processing

2. set as-path prepend or set as-path prepend last-as

• RTP signal processing is disabled by default.

Old Behavior: RTP packets of payload type “123” can cause errors on Cisco AS5350 and AS5400 series platforms.

New Behavior: RTP signal processing is disabled by default to prevent errors caused by RTP packets of payload type “123,” and can be enabled when necessary using the voice-fastpath voice-rtp-signalling enable command.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk653/technologies_tech_note09186a00800a96c1.shtml

• Able to apply VRF transfer for default sessions.

• A new check compares the Virtual Access ID present in the binding before deleting the binding.

Old behavior: When a request to free the binding is received the ODAP process searches for the IP and deletes it, due to which active bindings get deleted.

New behavior: A new check now compares the Virtual Access ID present in the binding before deleting the binding in order to control the issue of duplicate IDs. The show ip dhcp server odap-statistics and clear ip dhcp server odap-statistics commands have been introduced as part of this behavior change.

Important NotesThe following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 15.2S:

• Cisco IOS Behavior Changes, page 41

• Deferrals, page 43

• Field Notices and Bulletins, page 43

Cisco IOS Behavior Changes

Behavior changes describe the minor modifications to the way a device works that are sometimes introduced in a new software release. These changes typically occur during the course of resolving a software defect and are therefore not significant enough to warrant the creation of a standalone document. When behavior changes are introduced, existing documentation is updated with the changes described in these sections.

Behavior changes are provided for the following releases:

• Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S2, page 41

• Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S1, page 42

Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S2

The following behavior changes were introduced in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S2:

• The maximum value for cleanup-delay time that is configured using the mpls traffic-eng reoptimize timers delay cleanup-delay time command to delay the removal of old LSPs after tunnel reoptimization, is changed to 300 seconds.

Old Behavior: The maximum value for cleanup-delay time that is configured using the mpls traffic-eng reoptimize timers delay cleanup-delay time command, is 60 seconds.

New Behavior: The maximum value for cleanup-delay time that is configured using the mpls traffic-eng reoptimize timers delay cleanup-delay time command, is 300 seconds.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/mpls/command/mp-m4.html#GUID-B64630A1-3CD7-42DE-8E86-6CD47AC8981A

• The metadata service functionality is added to the SAF feature.

Old Behavior: The metadata service functionality is not available.

New Behavior: The Cisco SAF Forwarder can send service metadata to its neighbor SAF nodes. Metadata is XML information, and service data is information that a server communicates to a client about itself. The service metadata does not propagate in mixed Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)S) and Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S environments until such time that the version of EIGRP and SAF is upgraded.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/saf/configuration/15-2s/saf-15-2s-book.html

• For the Carrier Packet Transport (CPT) system, an alert is displayed whenever a round-trip delay threshold violation occurs during an IP SLAs Metro-Ethernet 3.0 (ITU-T Y.1731) operation.

Old Behavior: When a round-trip delay exceeds the specified threshold, an event is sent and IP SLAs generates a notification to the network management application.

New Behavior: For the CPT system, when a round-trip delay threshold violation occurs during an IP SLAs Metro-Ethernet 3.0 (ITU-T Y.1731) operation, an alert is displayed in addition to IP SLAs sending a notification. The alert is cleared when the round-trip delay falls back below the specified threshold value.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/ipsla/command/sla_i1.html

• Taps on the same stream with different port range is accepted for RP based LI.

Old Behavior: Taps on the same stream with different port range was rejected.

New Behavior: Taps on the same stream with different port range is accepted.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/7600/ios/12.2SR/configuration/lawful_intercept/76LIch2.html

• The default mode for the default transform set is changed to tunnel.

Old Behavior: The default mode for all transform sets, including the default transform set, is tunnel.

New Behavior: The default mode for the default transform set is transport; the default mode for all other transform sets is tunnel.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/sec_conn_ike2vpn/configuration/15-2s/sec-cfg-ikev2-flex.html

Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S1

The following behavior changes were introduced in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S1:

• Changes are made to classification of PADI packets on ATM Auto Virtual Circuits.

Old Behavior: All packets transmitted over ATM AutoVC are classified using the default class link type.

New Behavior: PPPoE Active Discovery Initiation (PADI) packets transmitted over ATM AutoVC are classified using the PPPOE_DISCOVERY link type.

Non-PADI packets continue to be classified using the default class link type. Each ATM cell of a PADI packet is punted as a separate packet, and is counted toward the PPPOE_DISCOVERY packet count.

The match protocol pppoe-discovery command matches all PPPoE control packets that are sent to the control plane including the PADI packets.

Additional Information:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/qos/command/match_access-group_through_mls_ip_pbr.html

• The mode tunnels command is disabled by default.

Old Behavior: PfR automatically creates dynamic tunnels between all border routers.

New Behavior: Dynamic tunnels are not automatically created between border routers.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/pfr/command/pfr-h1.html

• For routed ports and switched virtual interfaces (SVIs) that are configured on a Cisco Ethernet switch port, the maximum number of inbound interfaces (IIFs) or outbound interfaces (OIFs) supported is now 128.

Old Behavior: The maximum number of IIFs or OIFs supported is 64 for any of the following configurations: routed ports or SVIs that are configured on a switch port or for an Ethernet Flow Point (EFP).

New Behavior: For routed ports and SVIs configured on a switch port, the maximum number of supported IIFs and OIFs is increased to 128.

• Virtual template lock functionality is changed.

Old Behavior: A virtual template of the type tunnel with cloned virtual access interfaces can be configured. The virtual template dynamically updates the configuration to the cloned virtual access interfaces, thereby causing instability in some scenarios.

New Behavior: A virtual template of the type tunnel with cloned virtual access interfaces cannot be configured.

Video Monitoring MIB Support for Medianet Video Monitoring

This feature provides support for the use of the industry-standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to monitor media streams. This support is implemented with the addition of the following Cisco proprietary SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) modules:

• CISCO-FLOW-MONITOR-TC-MIB—Defines the textual conventions common to the following MIB modules.

• CISCO-FLOW-MONITOR-MIB—Defines the framework that describes the flow monitors supported by a system, the flows that it has learned, and the flow metrics collected for those flows.

• CISCO-MDI-METRICS-MIB—Defines objects that describe the quality metrics collected for media streams that comply to the Media Delivery Index (MDI) [RFC 4445].

• CISCO-RTP-METRICS-MIB—Defines objects that describe the quality metrics collected for RTP streams, similar to those described by an RTCP Receiver Report packet [RFC 3550].

• CISCO-IP-CBR-METRICS-MIB—Defines objects that describe the quality metrics collected for IP streams that have a constant bit rate (CBR).

For detailed information about these MIBs, and to locate and download MIBs for selected platforms, Cisco IOS releases, and feature sets, use Cisco MIB Locator found at http://www.cisco.com/go/mibs.

Features and Important Notes for Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)SImportant Notes

Cisco IOS Behavior Changes

Behavior changes describe the minor modifications to the way a device works that are sometimes introduced in a new software release. These changes typically occur during the course of resolving a software defect and are therefore not significant enough to warrant the creation of a standalone document. When behavior changes are introduced, existing documentation is updated with the changes described in these sections.

Behavior changes are provided for the following releases:

• Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S2, page 51

• Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S1, page 52

Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S2

The following behavior changes were introduced in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S2:

• Configure “radius-server attribute 44 include-in-access-req all” instead of “radius-server attribute 44 include-in-access-req” if per vrf level attribute inclusion is not required.

Old behavior: radius-server attribute 44 include-in-access-req command applies attribute 44 for all the sessions.

New behavior: The command is modified to include the configuration of non-vrf sessions.

Additional information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/security/m1/sec-cr-r1.html#GUID-0C067786-2A4D-4D26-A429-0E7AA331E4CD

• Change in the cns config retrieve command.

Old Behavior: The cns config retrieve command accepts an IPv4 or IPv6 address as a source for CNS communications.

New Behavior: The cns config retrieve command does not accept an IPv4 or IPv6 address as a source for CNS communications. Instead, the source interface name keyword/argument pair is available.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/cns/command/cns-cr-book.html

• The sub-application-table keyword can be enabled in the option command in Flexible NetFlow flow exporter configuration mode.

Old Behavior: The periodic sending of an options table, which allows the collector to map NBAR subapplication table information, is not enabled.

New Behavior: The periodic sending of an options table, which allows the collector to map the NBAR subapplication tags, subapplication names, and subapplication descriptions provided in the flow records to application IDs, can be enabled by using the sub-application-table keyword in the option command in Flexible NetFlow flow exporter configuration mode.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/fnetflow/command/fnf-m1.html

• PfR syslog levels are added to minimize number of messages.

Old Behavior: There are too many PfR syslog messages.

New Behavior: PfR syslog levels are added to minimize the number of messages displayed, and a syslog notice is added to display when 30 percent of the traffic classes are out-of-policy.

• New CLI command added to enable/disable BFDv6 and BFDv4 session offloading.

Old behavior: No CLI command.

New behavior: platform bfd disable-offload added.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/iproute_pi/command/reference/iri_pi1.html

Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S1

The following behavior changes were introduced in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S1:

• BGP-Origin AS Validation feature is changed in two ways.

Old Behavior 1: The router may send serial query or reset query messages to an RPKI server at any time.

New Behavior 1: The router will not send a serial query message or reset query message during the interval between when it sends a serial query or reset query message and when it receives an End of Data (EOD) message. Serial queries in this interval are stripped, and reset queries in this interval are sent upon receipt of the EOD message.

Old Behavior 2: The Invalid state indicates the prefix is found, but either the corresponding autonomous system received from the eBGP peer is not the autonomous system that appears in the SOVC table or the prefix length in the BGP Update message is longer than the maximum length permitted in the SOVC table. The Not Found state indicates that the prefix is not among the prefixes or prefix ranges in the SOVC table.

New Behavior 2: The Invalid state indicates that the prefix meets either of the following two conditions:

1. It matches one or more Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs), but there is no matching ROA where the origin autonomous system matches the origin autonomous system on the AS-PATH.

2. It matches one or more ROAs at the minimum length specified in the ROA, but for all ROAs where it matches the minimum length, it is longer than the specified maximum length. The origin autonomous system does not matter for condition #2.

The Not Found state indicates that the prefix is not among the Valid or Invalid prefixes.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/iproute_bgp/configuration/15-2s/irg-origin-as.html

• Change in BGP next-hop for redistributed recursive static routes.

Old Behavior: A router advertising a locally originated route (from a static route with a recursive next hop) advertises the next hop to be itself. The local next hop (equal to next-hop-self) is kept.

New Behavior: A router advertising a locally originated route (from a static route with a recursive next hop) advertises the next hop to be the recursive next hop of the static route.

• Switched Virtual Interface (SVI)-based Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) now works with Transport Profiles (TPs).

Old Behavior: SVI-based EoMPLS did not work for packets over TPs.

New Behavior: SVI-based EoMPLS now works for packets over TPs.

Features and Important Notes for Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)SImportant Notes

• The IKEv2 profile name must be specified to disassociate it from a crypto map or IPsec profile.

Old Behavior: The IKEv2 profile name does not need to be specified to disassociate it from a crypto map or IPsec profile.

New Behavior: The IKEv2 profile name must be specified to disassociate it from a crypto map or IPsec profile.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/sec_conn_ike2vpn/configuration/15-2mt/sec-cfg-ikev2-flex.html#GUID-DC2773B6-7E71-43F4-B4E7-25063C7D4851

• A command is added to truncate the downstream ANCP rate.

Old Behavior: In situations where large number of unique Access Node Control Protocol (ANCP) rates generated result in a correspondingly high number of policy maps, the number of policy maps can exceed the maximum number of policy maps supported on a router.

New Behavior: Use the ancp truncate command to reduce the ANCP rate.

Caution: This command is to be used only in exceptional scenarios, such as when the number of unique rates generated result in exceeding the maximum number of policy maps supported on a router.

Additional Information:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/ancp/command/ancp-a1.html#GUID-4AB51EAF-C9B7-48EB-A3E4-E18D2A576816

• CLI to tune ratelimit parameter for RP-based LI mode.

Old Behavior: The command was not present in the command reference guide.

New Behavior: Updated the command reference guide with the li-slot rp rate command.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/interface/command/ir-l1.html

• Optimization of ACL TCAM entry consumption on the Cisco 7600 platforms for Policy Based Routing under certain circumstances.

Old Behavior: When configuring multiple PBR sequences (or a single PBR sequence with multiple ACLs) in which more than one PBR ACL contains DENY entries, the result of the merge is suboptimal in the terms of number of TCAM entries and masks used.

New Behavior: Entering the new platform ipv4 pbr optimize tcam command allows for better optimization in the case described.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/7600/ios/15S/configuration/guide/layer3.html#wp1027016

• Cisco ASR 1000 BDI interface supports MTU size change.

Old Behavior: The default maximum transmission unit (MTU) size is 1500 bytes and is not configurable.

New Behavior: For a BDI, a MTU size from1500 and 9216 bytes can be configured.

Additional Information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr1000/configuration/guide/chassis/bdi.html

• Fast Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronization is achieved.

Old Behavior: The burst and initial burst (iburst) modes are enabled manually.

New Behavior: The burst and iburst modes are enabled by default.

Conditions: Device is configured with SNMP and is polled for Dot3Stats.

Workaround 1: Use the following command: no snmp-server sparse-tables.

Workaround 2: Block the objects in dot3 mib that contains this table from being polled:

snmp-server view cutdown iso included snmp-server view cutdown 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7 excluded

Then to apply the view, use:

no snmp-server community your_string_here RO no snmp-server community your_string_here RW

and then put it back so it looks like:

snmp-server community your_string_here view cutdown RO snmp-server community your_string_here view cutdown RW

• CSCty16106

Symptom: IKE/GDOI bypass policy entries (four entries) are downloaded to PAL dataplane SADB as part of the initial policy download. But, as IKE/GDOI traffic is never routed to tunnel interfaces, the entries are not required for tunnel protection cases.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with IKE/GDOI bypass policy entries.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz97771

Symptom: During regular operations, a Cisco router running Cisco IOS release 12.4(24)T and possibly other releases experiences a crash. The crash info will report the following:

%SYS-2-FREEFREE: Attempted to free unassigned memory at 4A001C2C, alloc 4180794C, dealloc 417616B0,%SYS-6-BLKINFO: Attempt to free a block that is in use blk 4A001BFC, words 134, alloc 4180794C, Free, dealloc 417616B0, rfcnt 0,

Conditions: This symptom is not observed under any specific conditions.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuc60868

Symptom: A router randomly crashes either due to memory corruption at bgp_timer_wheel or memory chunks near bgp_timer_wheel (For example, BFD event chunks if BFD is configured or AtoM Manager chunks if LDP is configured). A crash occurs right after an LDP neighbor is up in the L2VPN setup.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when vpls bgp signaling is unconfigured and then reconfigured. Both L2VPN and BGP are unconfigured and reconfigured after all L2VPN and BGP data structures are fully deleted (about 3 minutes for 5 BGP VPLS prefixes). For the repro on file, OSPF (for IGP) is also unconfigured and reconfigured. Both LDP and BGP signaling are affected by this caveat.

Workaround: Avoid unconfiguring and reconfiguring BGP L2VPN.

• CSCud62864

Symptom: When the Mid-call Re-INVITE consumption feature is active, CUBE consumes Re-INVITE which should change the media state from “sendonly” to “sendrcv”. This results in a one way or no way audio on the call.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the CUBE Mid-call Re-INVITE consumption feature is enabled.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCud86991

Symptom: On ASR1K, the IOSd process may crash with “crypto dynamic-map” configuration.

Conditions: This symptom is observed When “crypto dynamic-map ...” configuration is entered from CLI.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCue06450

Symptom: If NTP is not configured on a Cisco ASR 1000 Series router, then PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) services such as auto enrollment and certificate rollover may not function correctly due to an invalid clock.

Conditions: This symptom occurs if NTP is not configured, or if NTP is not synchronized to the NTP server.

Workaround: Enable NTP on the router.

• CSCue23898

Symptom: A Cisco router running Cisco IOS Release 15.3(1)T may crash with a bus error immediately after issuing the write memory command.

Example: 14:44:33 CST Thu Feb 14 2013: TLB (load or instruction fetch) exception, CPU signal 10, PC = 0x228B2C70

Conditions: This symptom occurs while updating the router’s running configuration with the write memory command.

It is caused by this CLI command “ccm-manager redundant-host A.B.C.D A.B.C.D”. For example, “ccm-manager redundant-host 172.21.200.15 172.21.200.13”.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCug37304

Symptom: The problem was experienced the first time on a UC560 that was upgraded to Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M5.

At the end of the investigation, it was determined that this is neither specific to the platform nor does it apply to Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M5.

This problem is platform independent and all releases leading to the most current release on Cisco.com in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M (most recent release on Cisco.com at the time writing this explanation is Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M7) are affected by this issue.

Conditions: Crash is seen specifically when FXS ports are in STCAPP controlled mode.

Workaround: Use the standalone FXS Port, rather than STCAPP controlled. Configure the FXS port as a standalone FXS port, if possible.

• CSCug47401

Symptom: An RP crash is seen with 128K PWLAN sessions.

Symptom: Prompt is provided for configure replace command when file prompt quiet is configured.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when “file prompt quiet” has been configured.

Workaround: Use “force” along with the configure replace command.

• CSCuh36124

Symptom: Service Routing/SAF in Cisco IOS Release 15.2.X.X is experiencing HIGH CPU during a failover condition where the active SAF forwarder looses connection to the network causing the clients to switch to the secondary forwarder. This issue occurs if the forwarder, that becomes active, still has an active neighbor that it needs to send updated registration data to (so more than two forwarders are required to observe this defect). Due to the high CPU condition during this failover, clients can experience longer registration times increasing the outage window.

Conditions: It has been validated in the lab, that the condition only occurs when more than two forwarders are involved and all the forwarders are peered to each other via direct configured peers or network based EIGRP peers. The HIGH CPU is caused directly by the connection that exists between SAF forwarders to exchange data across the network, and not due to the client towards SAF forwarder data exchange.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuh56385

Symptom: Very slow propagation of data across a network of SAF forwarders after a fail over condition is observed. More than two SAF forwarders are required to observe this defect.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when there are more than two SAF forwarders in the network. After a fail over condition and the clients initiate advertising patterns into the standby forwarder, the propagation of these advertisements via update messages to the SAF peers can experience a 5 second inter-service advertisement delay.

Workaround: There is no workaround. Once the forwarder that suffered the fail over condition returns and establishes its neighbor relationships with its peers, the forwarders will update quickly.

• CSCuh68961

Symptom: In a DO-DO scenario, the CUBE is not able to send re-invite on other leg if the CUBE receives re-invite immediately followed by ACK.

Conditions: SIP (PSTN) -- CUBE -- SIP -- CUCM -- IP phone transfers to another IP phone Message Sequence in CUBE CUCM --> reINVITE --> CUBE --> reINVITE --> Provider <-- 200OK 200OK <-- ACK --> reINVITE --> --> ACK

reINVITE from CUCM is not forwarded to the provider

Workaround: There is no specific workaround. This issue is only seen from the Cisco IOS release 15.1(4)M and newer.

• CSCuh72000

Symptom: The TOS of one kind of PIM signaling packet is set to 6. When the packet is encapsulated into MPLS, the TOS value is copied to the EXP value. The packet will then be encapsulated into GRE/IP again, but the EXP value is not copied. PI just leaves the TOS in the IP/GRE header 0.

Conditions: This symptom does not occur under specific conditions.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCui04860

Symptom: HA sync is not happening from active to standby.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when HA Sync-up is not happening for PKI Server on Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2.25)M0.1.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCui29745

Symptom: Member links under MLPPP go down as the LCP negotiation of those PPP links fails.

Conditions: This symptom occurs after the router reloads and the traffic is flowing through the multilink.

Workaround: Reload SPA/LC on the other end of the link.

• CSCui51363

Symptom: The multilink does not pass traffic even though it is in an up/up state.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the auto DNR status is set and the sip400 ucode crashes.

Workaround: Perform a shut/no shut in the multilink.

• CSCui54359

Symptom: Switchover to T.38 fax-relay does not occur when configured for SG3 fax calls. Calls switchover to fax passthrough.

Conditions: This is observed when fax machines support the SuperG3 standard on both end and the voice gateways are configured to use H323 and T38 v3 fax relay.

example: dial-peer voice 1 voip destination-pattern <did> session target ipv4:<ip_address> fax protocol t38 version 3orvoice service voip fax protocol t38 version 3

Workaround: Use SIP as the VoIP protocol.

Add “session protocol sipv2” to the voip dial-peer.

If CUCM is involved, configure a SIP trunk for call handling from/to the voice gateway.

• CSCui59004

Symptom: IOSd crashes while removing NTP server from the configuration.

Conditions: This may occur rarely, when removing “ntp server <hosname>” from configuration. ntp servers configured with ip addresses will not cause the same.

• CSCui59927

Symptom: A memory leak is observed on a Cisco device due to IPSec which causes free memory to deplete to an extent where the device becomes unreachable.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when IPSec scaling is high.

Workaround: Reduce scaling of IPSec sessions.

• CSCui64807

Symptom: An active RP crashes during FIB sync because of memory overrun when the standby sup becomes unavailable.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when redundant RPs are configured in SSO mode and the standby RP becomes unavailable (for instance because of crash or physical removal). The issue occurs only on Cisco 7600 RSP 720, Cisco 7600 Series Supervisor Engine 720, and Cisco 7600 platforms where the tableid “ISSU FOF LC” support is enabled. As of 03/17/2014, the tableid “ISSI FOF LC” feature is only supported on SY releases. This issue does not impact Cisco ASR 1000 Series platforms.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCui85371

Symptom: Ikev2 session is NOT coming UP.

Conditions: This defect can be seen on an IKEv2 initiator only. The IKEv2 authentication mechanism is certificate based and a certificate map is configured under IKEv2 profile.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuj14595

Symptom: A Cisco 3945 voice gateway running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 or Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M4 may have a processor pool memory leak in the CCSIP_TCP_SOCKET process.

Conditions: This symptom is seen on slow TCP connections, where the response is slow and frequent transmission errors are observed.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuj17818

Symptom: PPPoE is configured on radio interfaces. When a shut and no shut are issued on remote interface Router2, nine packets get stuck in the Router1 input queue.

Conditions: This problem is seen in Router1 when shut is issued on the Router2 interface to disconnect the PPPoE session between Router1 and Router2. In this case the Radio Emulator sends the PADQ packets to Router1 which gets stuck in input queue.

Workaround: Reloading the box to clear the input queue.

• CSCuj19201

Symptom: Re-registration time is recalculated on GM nodes upon receiving a TBAR rekey, based on the remaining TEK lifetime at the time of the TBAR rekey.

This effectively causes a much-shorter re-registration window compared to the one obtained at the GM registration, even if the original TEK lifetime was configured with a long value.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when TBAR is configured and long TEK lifetime used (more than 7200 seconds).

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuj30572

Symptom: With EIGRP and PFR configured, a Cisco router crashes after giving following EIGRP messages:

000111: Sep 17 09:08:33.331: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: EIGRP-IPv4 1: Neighbor 10.50.2.1 (Tunnel502) is down: Peer Termination received 000112: Sep 17 09:08:33.347: %DUAL-3-INTERNAL: EIGRP-IPv4 1: Internal Error -Traceback= 319D4CB4z 319EC5E4z 319EC7C8z 319E4950z 319EA760z 31A25008z 32C23084z 32C23068z

Conditions: This symptom occurs when PFR, OER, and EIGRP are configured.

Say RouterUnderTest has two EIGRP Peers HUB1 and HUB2. (Given metrics are only for illustration)

When EIGRP has a Prefix with 3 different Paths installed in following order

DRDB1 NH - HUB1, Metric 36571392 / 0 (Installed by PFR) DRDB2 NH - HUB2, Metric 58322432 / 409600 ( x Hops away learnt from RouterX) DRDB3 NH - HUB1, Metric 538004992/500409600 (y Hops away learnt from Router Y)

With these initial conditions, if Neighbor ship with Router Y goes down, Both PFR and EIGRP try to delete DRDB3 Which results in inconsistent data structures with Memory corruption. Any further access to Memory will result in Crash.

Workaround: No possible work arounds seen. Using other Load sharing methods instead of PFR looks only possible work around.

More Info: Usually, the crash is seen during execution of EIGRP Route lookup function similar to below.

0x33841E10:eigrp_pfr_get_drdb(0x33841ddc)+0x34 0x33842014:eigrp_pfr_route_lookup(0x33841e88)+0x18c

• CSCuj62593

Symptom: Gateway crashes with MALLOCFAIL during ASR/TTS load.

Conditions: During longevity load for five days, crash is seen almost 61 hours into the load with Cisco IOS Release 15.3(3)M1 and almost 12 hours into load with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M5, due to the non-optimal usage of memory.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuj72215

Symptom:

A vulnerability in handling of RTCP traffic of Cisco CUBE could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause traffic destined to an affected device as well as traffic that needs to be processed-switched to fail.

The vulnerability is due to exhaustion of interface input queue by the RTCP traffic. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending RTCP packet in a specific sequence. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause traffic destined to an affected device as well as traffic that needs to be processed- switched to fail.

Conditions:

RTCP packets have been found to be associated with SIP but any voice protocol may be involved.

The default input queue size is 75 on ISR routers. When the input queue fills up, the size (76) will exceed the max. This may look like an input queue wedge on the surface but for this bug, the packets should be drained once the call is torn down and the socket is removed. The RTCP packets should

only be punted to the CPU for processing (and thus hit the input queue) when the RTP session isn’t yet established and we don’t have a socket. Once this establishment is done, RTCP traffic should be processed in the fast-path.

Workaround: To alleviate the problems caused by filling up the input queue, the size can be increased with the following command at the interface level, hold-queue <size> in.

To stop the issue altogether, RTCP would be need to be disabled by the voice endpoints.

PSIRT Evaluation: The Cisco PSIRT has assigned this bug the following CVSS version 2 score. The Base and Temporal CVSS scores as of the time of evaluation are 5/4.1: https://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvssCalculator.do?dispatch=1&version=2&vector=AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P/E:F/RL:OF/RC:C

• CSCuj82897

Symptom: The “control-word” length is not set properly for small HDLC packets running over HDLC AToM VC with SIP-200. For example: SPA-8XCHT1/E1.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when HDLC AToM VC with SIP-200 is deployed, for example, SPA-8XCHT1/E1, will result in a packet length mismatch issue or dropping by the remote PE router when HDLCoverMPLS runs over the Ethernet link adding an additional padding which cannot be classified at all.

Workaround: Use SIP-400.

• CSCuj85382

Symptom: ME3400 reload.

Conditions: This symptom is observed under the following conditions:

• CSCuj87667

Symptom: When value “xxx” of MPLS exp bits was copied to outer IP/GRE header TOS, the new TOS value should be “xxx00000” but now it is “00000xxx”, so that the QoS information was broken.

Conditions: This symptom is observed in MPLS over GRE case.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuj94571

Symptom: To run the BERT test, remove “keepalive” from the interface. After completing the BERT test, adding “keepalive” causes the standby RSP to reset.

Conditions: This symptom is consistent and affects Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)S1.

Workaround: After the completion of the BERT test, remove the BERT test with “no bert pattern qrss interval <interval>” and then add “keepalive”. This will avoid standby RSP reset.

Workaround: Reload the device.

• CSCul54254

Symptom: Invalid LSAs are not flushed by the router which has their Advertising Router ID. Specifically, Router LSAs which do not have LSID of 0 will not be flushed if the router does not re-originate them, and any LSA with a type that the router does not recognize.

Lingering LSAs could lead to incorrect routing in some very obscure instances. For example, stale Router LSA fragments from two neighboring routers would need to remain in the network. There would not be a routing problem if only one router’s stale Router LSA fragment was allowed to linger.

Conditions: There are several possible scenarios that could lead to this symptom. One example is that a router is configured with many interfaces attached to an OSPFv3 instance such that it originates more than one Router LSA fragment. Then the router is reloaded before the configuration is saved, and after the reload it does not reoriginate some of the Router LSA fragments.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptom: A router may crash in an OSPF process during reconfiguration.

Conditions: This symptom occurs under the following conditions:

1. Configure the router with “ipfrr” in area 0.

2. Connect router to area 0 through two links. For some route one interface is the primary path, and the second is the repair path.

3. Configure router as ABR, that is, have a non-zero area with a neighbor. Do not configure “ipfrr” in the non-zero area. Quickly remove the IP address from both the interfaces in area 0 and router the may crash.

Workaround: Changes to the reconfiguration procedure will avoid the crash.

– Shutdown the interface before removing the IP

– Remove the IP from one interface in area 0, wait for a few seconds and remove the IP address from the second interface in area 0.

• CSCul94087

Symptom: Output Packet drops is observed on the ATM IMA interface even when there is no live traffic and only signaling exchange between non-Cisco devices. Although output drops in most cases means low bandwidth issues but in this case, an entire site was down due to these drops.

• CSCul96778

Symptom: A router may crash and reload with BGP related traceback in an extremely rare timing condition while running “show ip bgp vpnv4 vrf XXXX nei A.A.A.A”.

Conditions: While making BGP related changes such as moving the same neighbor with quick operation of “no neighbor x.x.x.x “ and then “neighbor x.x.x.x” across VRFs. Immediately after this if we type a “show ip bgp vpnv4 vrf XXXX nei A.A.A.A” on a Cisco router running IOS and BGP, then in extremely rare timing condition the router may crash. The possibility of this to happen increases if their configuration and unconfiguration is done from one console and the show operation done from other console.

Workaround: When doing configuration and un-configuration and then show, its better to serialize the operation rather than aggressively use multiple consoles to do all actions at the same time.

• CSCum00056

Symptom: ASR IOSd crash occurs with the following error:

UNIX-EXT-SIGNAL: Segmentation fault(11), Process = ISG CMD HANDLER

Conditions: This symptom occurs when changes are made through RADIUS.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCum02221

Symptom: A vulnerability in BGP processing code of Cisco IOS could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of the affected device..

The vulnerability is due to improper parsing of malformed BGP packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed BGP packets to an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause a reload of the affected device.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the device configured for BGP.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCum14830

Symptom: Leaking IPv6 routes is observed from a VRF table into the global table using BGP. These routes consist of the following: 1. BGP routes learned from the VRF IPv6 BGP peer. 2. Redistributed static and connected routes.

The BGP routes leak fine, but the redistributed static and connected routes have an issue. After the redistributed routes leak, the exit interface shows “null0”. Sometimes instead of showing the exit interface as “null0”, it shows a random interface which is a part of VRF and has IPv6 enabled on it.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with IPv6 redistributed connected and static routes into BGP VRF (could also be redistributed from other protocols as well but have not been tested).

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Conditions: Assume that a VPLS circuit is running between more than two PEs say A,B, and C and HSRP is running between A and B. Removing VPLS peer C on either A or B would cause HSRP communication failure between A and B. This failure is not expected as data path is still available between A and B.

Workaround: Perform shut/no shut on the SVI.

• CSCun24813

Symptom: In an HA setup, on standby reload, an active crash occurs.

Conditions: There are a few states maintained on active for the tunnel reserved and tunnel global VLANs depending on the status of their usage (the one trying to free the VLAN).

When the standby frees the VLAN, the state of VLAN is set to 2 on active. But in this case when the state of VLAN is set to 2, and the standby is reloaded, the active crashes .

Workaround: There is no workaround.

More Info: In an HA setup there are states maintained for the VLAN on active, depending on the active or standby that has freed it . There are 4 states : State 1: When the active wants to free the VLAN and is waiting for a message from the standby to free the VLAN. In this case, VLAN is put in delay list for 4 minutes.

State 0: When VLAN is freed by the active, the state is set to 1.

State 2 : When VLAN is freed by the standby, the state is set to 2.

State 3 : Same as State 1 for global rsvd VLAN.

Cases :

Case 1: The active wants to free the VLAN, waits for a message from the standby, set the state to 1, before 4 minutes standby frees the VLAN and sends the message to active, the state is set to 0 .

Case 2 : The active wants to free the VLAN first, set the state to 1, within 4 minutes if a message from the standby does not arrive, the state is set to 0. After 4 minutes the standby frees the VLAN and sends the message to active, and the state is set to 2 .

Case 3: The standby wants to free the VLAN first, sends a message to the active, the state is set to 2, the active also frees it, and sets the state to 0 finally.

Now when a peer reload is done, all the VLANs which are in delay list waiting for the standby message are to be freed. Here we check if the state of the VLAN is not 0, it is set to 0 and freed. In case 2, the state of the VLAN after it is deleted from the active and the standby is 2, so on reload an attempt to again free these VLANs is made, hence the crash.

• CSCun31021

Symptom: A vulnerability in IKE module of Cisco IOS and Cisco IOS XE could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to affect already established Security Associations (SA)..

The vulnerability is due to a wrong handling of rogue IKE Main Mode packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted Main Mode packet to an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause dropping of valid, established IKE Security Associations on an affected device.

Conditions: Device configured to process IKE request that already has a number of established security associations.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Alternatively to avoid the need to look up the TCAM address beforehand, you can use the following syntax:

show hw-module subslot 0 tcam entry vlan 0 first-vlan-tag second-vlan-tag 0 8 8 | i Pkt

The Hit counters represent overall TX/RX packet counters. The RX/TX send represent packet and byte counts for Unicast, Multicast and Broadcast Respectively

Note: The only way to clear the counters is to remove and readd the member interface from the port channel.

Conditions: This ddts adds a couple of options “[single-hop | multi-hop]” to the existing BGP-BFD knob “neighbor x.x.x.x fall-over [bfd] [check-control-plane-failure]”.

So, after the change the knob would be: “neighbor x.x.x.x fall-over [bfd] [single-hop | multi-hop] [check-control-plane-failure]”

**Note: Existing: “neighbor x.x.x.x fall-over [bfd]” --- This behavior would not be disturbed; so that we do not change the behavior that has been released as part of all the releases for more than three years now.

Add-on in this ddts:

1) “neighbor x.x.x.x fall-over [bfd] [single-hop] -- NEW-option “single-hop”; would force BGP to open a single-hop bfd session. Even in case of back-to-back ebgp update-source loopback with 2 hop BGP peering.

2) “neighbor x.x.x.x fall-over [bfd] [multi-hop] -- NEW-option “multi-hop”"; would force BGP to open a multi-hop bfd session.

Workaround: There is no work around. ISR G2 should support BFD multi-hop feature.

More Info: ISR-G2 does not support multi-hop BFD, while ISR4400 supports multi-hop BFD. BFD multi-hop support for ISR-G2 needs to be provided, so that they can interop with ISR4400 and ASRs.

• CSCue95644

Symptom: This is the Cisco response to research performed by Mr. Philipp Schmidt and Mr. Jens Steube from the Hashcat Project on the weakness of Type 4 passwords on Cisco IOS and Cisco IOS XE devices. Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Steube reported this issue to the Cisco PSIRT on March 12, 2013.

Cisco would like to thank Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Steube for sharing their research with Cisco and working toward a coordinated disclosure of this issue.

A limited number of Cisco IOS and Cisco IOS XE releases based on the Cisco IOS 15 code base include support for a new algorithm to hash user-provided plaintext passwords. This algorithm is called Type 4, and a password hashed using this algorithm is referred to as a Type 4 password. The Type 4 algorithm was designed to be a stronger alternative to the existing Type 5 and Type 7 algorithms to increase the resiliency of passwords used for the enable secret password and username username secret password commands against brute-force attacks.

• CSCui89069

Symptom: An ISIS flap is observed on performing SSO.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when nsf ietf is configured and one or more loopbacks are configured as passive interfaces.

Workaround 1. Use nsf cisco.

Workaround 2. Continue to use nsf ietf but configure ip router isis <process_name> on the loopback interfaces.

• CSCui90811

Symptom: While running the Cisco IOS 15.3S release and Cisco IOS 15.4S release software for the L2VPN pseudowire redundancy feature on a Cisco router, the traffic is dropped when the primary pseudowire becomes active.

Conditions: Initially the primary pseudowire is down due to either a local or a remote core-facing interface being shutdown. The backup pseudowire is active and traffic flows through the backup pseudowire. Later, when the backup pseudowire is down, the primary pseudowire is brought up and becomes active and traffic is not able to flow through primary pseudowire and is dropped.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCui99031

Symptom: In a pair of Cisco 7609-S routers running c7600rsp72043-advipservicesk9-mz.151-3.S5.bin IOS, phase 1 fails to establish due to a “signature invalid!” error when rsa-sig is used for phase 1 authentication.

Conditions: This symptom occurs under the following conditions:

– rsa-sig is used for phase 1 authentication

– site to site tunnel

Workaround: Use PSK instead of PKI.

• CSCuj00746

Symptom: On performing an upgrade from 9.512 to 9.523, there is a label allocation failure in VPWS circuits as they are trying to utilize the labels that are already used by the VPLS circuits that are present in the database.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when both VPWS and VPLS circuits are configured on the same node before upgrading.

Workaround: Removing the VPLS circuit brings up the VPWS circuits. Reconfiguring the VPLS circuit is also successful with a different local label assigned.

• CSCuj11232

Symptom: Changing the local label on an existing static (no signaling) Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) pseudowire, or changing the static pseudowire to a dynamic one (with LDP signaling) may cause traffic to fail to traverse the pseudowire.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when either the configured value of the static local label is changed, or if the pseudowire is changed to a dynamic one.

Workaround: Completely unconfigure the existing xconnect or pseudowire before entering the new configuration.

• CSCuj11576

Symptom: A router experiences a crash when BFD is configured.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when BFD is configured.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuj16742

Symptom: In a pseudowire redundancy configuration, packets may fail to flow even though the xconnect virtual circuit appears to be up.

Conditions: This symptom has been observed when the xconnect is re-provisioned while the primary pseudowire is down and the backup pseudowire is up. The issue has only been observed on Circuit Emulation (CEM) attachment circuits, but it is possible other attachment circuit types may be affected as well.

Workaround: Completely unconfigure the xconnect and then reconfigure it.

• CSCuj17482

Symptom: On a device running low on memory, an EFP is attempted to be deleted, but fails due to lack of memory. The second attempt at removing that same EFP causes the router to restart.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the a lot of configuration has been applied to the device, causing high memory usage.

Workaround: Do not overconfigure the device.

• CSCuj22189

Symptom: On a Cisco ASR series router, a crash occurs when mpls ip is added under the interface.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the hidden command snmp-server hc poll is already configured.

Workaround: Ensure that the hidden command snmp-server hc poll has not been configured.

• CSCuj26593

Symptom: Simple IP Dual stack and IPv6 sessions failed to survive an RP switchover.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the dual stack session exists.

Workaround: Do not use the dual stack session.

• CSCuj30702

Symptom: This bug is specific to port channel sub interface configuration in ES+ card. This bug is not relevant to any other port channel configuration in ES+, that is, EVC/Bridge-Domain over PoCH sub-int etc, and other card types, such as ES20/ LAN cards are free from this bug. Any type of IP communication on port channel sub interfaces in ES+ cards fail. Such an issue is seen only with port channel sub interfaces on ES+ and not seen with port channel main interfaces.

Conditions: This symptom will only be seen with images where the fix of CSCuh40617 is integrated.

Workaround: The connections will work fine if it is moved to the main interface or by using EVC BD configurations.

• CSCuj31090

Symptom: When L2TPv3-based pseudowire is configured between two PE routers and different VLAN ids are used on the ACs on both sides, ES+ on egress PE does not rewrite a dot1q VLAN tag when sending a frame toward CE.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when:

1. Both ACs are Ethernet VLAN type.

2. Different dot1q tag is used on both ACs.

Workaround: Configure the same dot1q tag for the ACs on both PEs.

• CSCuj39400

Symptom: A Cisco 3945 series router running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)T2 may crash with a bus error. This relates to VOIP_RTCP.

Conditions: This symprom has been observed to occur often while running SIP debugs. However, at least one identical crash happened after SIP debugs were disabled three days before.

Workaround: There is no known workaround.

• CSCuj47554

Symptom: PBHK bundles are not released even after the session is cleared.

Conditions: This symptom occurs after the session is cleared and the port-bundle status is not shown correctly with show ip portbundle status command.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuj52396

Symptom: In a VPLS Inter-Autonomous System Option B configuration, the virtual circuits between the Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR) and the PE may fail to come up.

Conditions: This symptom is observed while initially establishing VCs after the ASBR has reloaded.

Workaround: The clear xconnect exec command can be used to clear the VCs that are down.

• CSCuj57367

Symptom: A 10 gig line card crashes on a Cisco 7600 platform with the following or similar errors:

%SYS-DFC3-3-MGDTIMER: Uninitialized timer, timer stop, timer = 30CCCFB0. -Process= "RO Notify Timers", ipl= 0, pid= 7 -Traceback= 2060E1BCz 2060E8E4z %SYS-DFC3-3-MGDTIMER: Uninitialized timer, timer stop, timer = 30CCD154. -Process= "RO Notify Timers", ipl= 0, pid= 7 -Traceback= 2060E1BCz 2060E8E4z %SYS-DFC3-3-MGDTIMER: Uninitialized timer, timer stop, timer = 30CCCFB0. -Process= "RO Notify Timers", ipl= 0, pid= 7 -Traceback= 2060E1BCz 2060E8E4z08:54:43 Central Tue Oct 1 2013: Address Error (load or instruction fetch) exception, CPU signal 10, PC = 0x20642A08

Conditions: This symptom occurs when a large number of IPC messages are used.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

More Info: On mac-scaling, the L2-DRV application sends more ICC messages(though not always). But periodically( approximately 2-3 minutes), some burst of around 150 ICC messages are sent by the SP towards the RP. This means that mac-scaling has a direct correlation with the number of IPC messages being sent.

• CSCuj58299

Symptom: Interface input queue starts to become congested. The input queue can reach the input queue maximum which will cause problems for all control-plane and punted traffic (management, routing protocols, call control, etc).

Example from the show interface output:

Input queue: 76/75/0/5549 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0

It may seem like the router becomes “unresponsive” and may require a reboot to restore service. Access from the console will still be possible. After some time, the input queue can clear on its own.

Conditions: This symptom is observed under the following conditions:

1. Router serves as a SIP-SIP CUBE

OL-26035-03 Rev. H0

Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)SResolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S5

2. Packets that are congesting input queue are RTCP packets. Check "show buffers input-interface [interface] packet". (RTCP packets are most commonly odd source/destination UDP ports in the range 16384 - 32768)

3. CUBE receives a 180 without SDP followed by a 180 with SDP on one of the call legs (collect ’debug ccsip message’ for a period of time leading up to and including when you see the input queue begin to fill)

Workaround: Perform the following workaround:

1. Increase input hold-queue to a very large value.

2. Create an ACL to block RTCP traffic on interfaces (not possible if RTCP is used for inactivity detection).

3. Influence downstream call flows such that CUBE does not receive 180 without SDP followed by a 180 with SDP.

• CSCuj60533

Symptom: Repeated CPUHOG messages may be seen along with a crash when “reload” is issued just after a bootup.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the line cards are still booting up and are in other states.

Workaround: Issue “reload” after the line cards have booted.

• CSCuj65057

Symptom: The ip vrf forwarding command under “aaa” is deleted after reloading the stack master.

Conditions: This symptom occurs after reloading the stack master switch.

aaa new-model ! aaa group server tacacs+ TACACS+ ip vrf forwarding VRF01 ! ip vrf VRF01 rd x.x.x.x ---------

Workaround: Use the vrf definition command instead of the ip vrf command to define vrf. (This command is supported on Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE or later releases.)

• CSCuj66352

Symptom: A system crash is observed in the SNMP engine.

Conditions: This symptom occurs under the following conditions:

– ?show subscriber session?

– polling the ISG-MIB

– clearing the subscriber

Workaround: Do not use SNMP polling.

• CSCuj68932

Symptom: L2TPv3 tunnel with digest fails to establish. Cisco IOS device gives the following messages when “debug l2tp all” and “debug l2tp packet detail” are enabled:

Conditions: This issue is observed when IOS device peers with non-IOS device that sends IETF L2TPv3 digest AVP (IETF AVP 59) in L2TP control message. This issue is present in S images starting from Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)XNC and in T train from Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2)T.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuj75952

Symptom: The Cisco ASR 1000 route processor reloads.

Conditions: This symptom occurs during PPPoA session establishment if CAC determines that resources are low and HW-assisted CAC needs to be enabled. The router is used to terminate PPPoA sessions and Call Admission Control (CAC) is enabled.

Workaround: Disable Call Admission Control.

• CSCuj78636

Symptom: A memory leak is observed in the IP Switching segment.

Conditions: This symptom occurs if a subscriber roams with the same MAC address but a different IP address . This happens only for L2 roaming and not for L3 roaming.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuj88523

Symptom: In a pseudowire redundancy configuration, traffic may fail to flow after a switchover to a backup pseudowire.

Conditions: This symptom occurs on the Cisco 7600 series routers.

Workaround: Execute the following commands on the attachment circuit interface:

– shutdown

– no shutdown

• CSCuj96893

Symptom: Cisco router hangs and it stopped passing the traffic. Customer needs to reload the router to make it work until it hangs next time. It hangs sometimes once in month.

Conditions: This issue is seen with more than one router.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuj99537

Symptom: Not all LI streams that are properly configured via SNMPv3 and appropriate ACLs and are programmed in TCAM, are intercepted and forwarded towards MD.

Conditions: This symptom occurs in an SIP-400 based LI.

Workaround: Remove and reapply the problematic tap but it doesn’t prevent the problem from reoccurring if new LI taps are applied via SNMPv3

• CSCuj99819

Symptom: MVPN GRE tunnels are not established.

Conditions: BGP has a VPN peer configured using an update-source that does not have PIM enabled.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCul14571

Symptom: A Cisco router can crash after OSPFv3 is unconfigured from an interface.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when NSR is enabled.

Workaround: Unconfigure NSR before unconfiguring OSPFv3 from an interface.

More Info: This is extremely rare issue; the OSPFv3 should be in a process of checkpointing LSA from primary RP to standby while an interface from which the LSA was received is unconfigured.

• CSCul24682

Symptom: L2TP LNS puts a non-negotiated magic number to LCP packets. The PPPoE client may terminate the session prematurely due to the unknown magic number.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when L2TP LAC does not negotiate the magic number with the PPPoE client and L2TP LNS does not renegotiate options with the PPPoE client.

Workaround: Configure “lcp renegotiation always” on L2TP LNS.

• CSCul27327

Symptom: On the Cisco c7600 router, if PIM is configured on the port-channel and on the port members, any failure on one of the port members will disable the FE CAM.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when PIM is configured on the port members.

Workaround:

1. Do not configure PIM sparse-mode on the port members even though the CLI is accepted.

2. In case the PIM sparse-mode is configured on the port members, remove it from the port members and the port-channel and then reapply the PIM configuration on the port-channel only.

Further Problem Description: A similar issue (CSCtf75608) is seen on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches, but the workaround is to configure PIM on the port-channel and the port members to avert the FE CAM to be disabled in the event of one of the port members failing.

• CSCul40898

Symptom: After reloading the router or fresh service-instance configuration, traffic received from the access is sent to the core without a dummy VLAN header. This traffic is received by a remote PE2 and sent to switch with a missing VLAN header. Therefore CE2 drops received packets. When the issue is removed, captured traffic in the core contains a dummy VLAN header.

Conditions: This symptom is occasionally observed when the router is reloaded and is consistently observed when a new service instance is configured as an xconnect member.

Workaround: Perform shutdown followed by no shutdown on the service instance.

• CSCul47135

Symptom: On Cisco ASR 1000 routers, services are not removed or applied from the active subscriber sessions when CoA is sent from the radius server. The router sends wrong values in response to the CoA request packet.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when 15.2(20130918:081157) is run.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCul54254

Symptom: Invalid LSAs are not flushed by the router which has their Advertising Router ID. Specifically, Router LSAs which do not have LSID of 0 will not be flushed if the router does not re-originate them, and any LSA with a type that the router does not recognize.

Lingering LSAs could lead to incorrect routing in some very obscure instances. For example, stale Router LSA fragments from two neighboring routers would need to remain in the network. There would not be a routing problem if only one router’s stale Router LSA fragment was allowed to linger.

Conditions: There are several possible scenarios that could lead to this symptom. One example is that a router is configured with many interfaces attached to an OSPFv3 instance such that it originates more than one Router LSA fragment. Then the router is reloaded before the configuration is saved, and after the reload it does not reoriginate some of the Router LSA fragments.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCul65614

Symptom: The FAN-MOD-6SHS module consumes more power than expected(should be around 180W).

#sh power <SNIP> Fan Type Watts A @42V State ---- ------------------ ------- ------ ----- 1 FAN-MOD-6SHS 427.14 10.17 OK

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the ES+ Combo card is placed in slot-1 of 7600 chassis.

Workaround: Place ES+ Combo cards in any other slot other than slot-1 of 7600 chassis.

• CSCul86211

Symptom: When LNS switches off while the sessions keep on establishing at LAC, LAC finds the l2tp db memory exhausted after sometime. Due to this, it fails to update the session in the database and during this period a crash is observed.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when LAC tries to add l2tp session in the database and fails to do so. In order to handle this error condition, LAC frees the l2tp and l2x session twice. This double free is the reason for crash.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCul87037

Symptom: An “sg subrte conte” chunk leak occurs while roaming.

Conditions: This symptom occurs after an account-logoff and if service permit is configured in control policy. In case of a service permit, the subscriber remains unauth and is redirected to the portal once again. Post successful second account logon and the subscriber session is cleared by timeout or cli, the leak is seen and the same client will not be able to create the session once again. The leak is seen after simulating for the second time account-logon. And if service permit is configured.

In case of service disconnect configured under account-logoff, account-logon is not a practical scenario as the portal is not reachable for the client.

Workaround: Use service disconnect for event account-logoff.

class type control always event account-logoff1 service disconnect delay 10!

• CSCua21049

Symptom: User configures a recursive multicast-only IPv6 static route. Although the static route next-hop apparently resolves in the context of the ipv6 multicast-unicast routing table, the route is not inserted in the routing table.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when a user has configured IPv6 multicast. User has configured a recursive multicast-only ipv6 static route.

For example:

A user has configured recursive multicast-only static:

ipv6 route 2001:DB8:11::1/128 2001:DB8:16::1 multicast

Next-hop apparently resolves in context of the multicast-unicast routing table:

rtr> show ipv6 routing multicast IPv6 Multicast Routing Table - default - 8 entries Codes: C - Connected, L - Local, S - Static, U - Per-user Static route B - BGP, R - RIP, H - NHRP, I1 - ISIS L1 I2 - ISIS L2, IA - ISIS interarea, IS - ISIS summary, D - EIGRP EX - EIGRP external, ND - ND Default, NDp - ND Prefix, DCE - Destination NDr - Redirect, O - OSPF Intra, OI - OSPF Inter, OE1 - OSPF ext 1 OE2 - OSPF ext 2, ON1 - OSPF NSSA ext 1, ON2 - OSPF NSSA ext 2 ls - LISP site, ld - LISP dyn-EID C 2001:DB8:16::/112 [0/0] via Ethernet0/1, directly connected

However, the static route is not present in routing table and “show ipv6 static multicast detail” shows the route resolves outside the table:

rtr> show ipv6 static multicast detail IPv6 Static routes Table - default Codes: * - installed in RIB, u/m - Unicast/Multicast only U - Per-user Static route N - ND Static route M - MIP Static route P - DHCP-PD Static route R - RHI Static route m 2001:DB8:11::1/128 via 16::1, multicast distance 1 Route resolves outside the table

• CSCua55797

Symptoms: The privilege exec level 0 show glbp brief command causes the memory to be depleted when the show running or copy running-config startup-config commands are used. The configurations will then show this:

privilege exec level 0 show glbp GigabitEthernet0/0 brief brief brief brief brief brief brief privilege exec level 0 show glbp GigabitEthernet0/0 brief brief brief brief brief brief privilege exec level 0 show glbp GigabitEthernet0/0 brief brief brief brief brief privilege exec level 0 show glbp GigabitEthernet0/0 brief brief brief brief privilege exec level 0 show glbp GigabitEthernet0/0 brief brief brief privilege exec level 0 show glbp GigabitEthernet0/0 brief brief privilege exec level 0 show glbp GigabitEthernet0/0 brief privilege exec level 0 show glbp privilege exec level 0 show

Removing the configurations causes this to happen over and over until the telnet session is terminated:

priv_push : no memory available priv_push : no memory available priv_push : no memory available priv_push : no memory available priv_push : no memory available

If the configurations are saved and device is reloaded, the device will not fully boot until the configurations are bypassed.

Conditions: This issue happens after the privilege exec level 0 show glbp brief command is entered and saved.

Workaround: Reload the router before saving the configurations.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when the device is configured with TACACS+. It is seen mostly on Cisco 3750/3760 switches, but has been observed on Cisco 6500 switches.

Workaround:

– Remove the AAA and TACACS+ server configuration.

– Clear the existing TCP connections with clear tcp tcb.

– Reconfigure the TACACS+ server configuration to use “single-connection” mode.

– Reconfigure the AAA configuration.

Mitigation using EEM: A Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM) policy that is based on Tool Command Language (Tcl) can be used on vulnerable Cisco IOS devices to identify and detect a hung, extended, or indefinite TCP connection that causes the symptoms to be observed. The policy allows administrators to monitor TCP connections on a Cisco IOS device. When Cisco IOS EEM detects hung or stale TCP connections, the policy can trigger a response by sending a syslog message or a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap to clear the TCP connection. The example policy provided in this document is based on a Tcl script that monitors and parses the output from two commands at defined intervals, produces a syslog message when the monitor threshold reaches its configured value, and can reset the TCP connection. The EEM script is available at:

Symptom: A Cisco Router configured for IPv6/IPv4 Native IP Routes or l2-connected ISG sessions may reload with following errors in crashinfo:

UNIX-EXT-SIGNAL: Segmentation fault(11), Process = IP Inband Session Initiator

Conditions: This symptom occurs due to high or extended duration of setup and tear-down rate of sessions. Time to potential reload can vary depending on call volume and duration of session cycling.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCub93641

Symptom: The load balancing feature of the Flex-VPN solution of Cisco IOS does not provide authentication facilities to avoid a non authorized member to join the load balancing cluster. Thus, an attacker may impact the integrity of the Flex-VPN system by inserting a rogue cluster member and having the load balance master to forward a VPN session to it. A number of secondary effects, including black-holing of some of the VPN traffic may be triggered by this issue.

Conditions: This symptom occurs in Flex-VPN with the Load Balancing feature active.

Workaround: Using CoPP and interface access-list may be used to allow only trusted router to join the load balancer cluster

• CSCud86954

Symptom: Some flows are not added to the Flexible Netflow cache, as indicated by the “Flows not added” counter increasing in the show flow monitor statistics command output. “Debug flow monitor packets” shows “FNF_BUILD: Lost cache entry” messages, and after some time, all cache entries are lost. At that moment, debug starts showing “FLOW MON: ip input feature builder failed on interface couldn’t get free cache entry”, and no new entries are created and exported (“Current entries” counter remains at 0).

The following is sample output when all cache entries are lost:

Router#sh flow monitor FNF-MON stat Cache type: Normal Cache size: 4096 Current entries: 0 High Watermark: 882Flows added: 15969 Flows not added: 32668 Flows aged: 15969 - Active timeout ( 1800 secs) 0 - Inactive timeout ( 15 secs) 15969 - Event aged 0 - Watermark aged 0 - Emergency aged 0

Conditions: This symptom occurs when all of the following are true:

– Flexible Netflow is enabled on a DMVPN tunnel interface.

– Local policy-based routing is also enabled on the router.

– Local PBR references an ACL that does not exist or an ACL that matches IPsec packets.

Workaround:

1. Make sure that the ACL used in the local PBR route-map exists and does not match IPsec packets sent over the DMVPN tunnel interface.

2. Disabling encryption on the tunnel interface, or changing tunnel mode from mGRE to GRE also removes this bug.

3. The issue will not be seen if FNF is not configured, or if FNF is configured but is not monitoring VPN traffic.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCue47586

Symptom: For an MGRE tunnel, internal VLANs are not allocated in the standby supervisor.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when an HA router boots up with MGRE tunnel configurations. Internal VLANs are not allocated in the standby supervisor due to a sync issue during bootup.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCue57495

Symptom: Traceback is observed with the following error message:

standby cannot allocate VLAN for Tunnel Rsvd Vlan

Conditions: The issue seen while configuring L2VPN and L3VPN with scaled tunnel configurations.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCue59592

Symptom: Multiple crashes observed with the following tracebacks after upgrading the Cisco IOS Release from 12.2(33)SRC1 to 12.2(33)SRE6:

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the Cisco 2911 running Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M3. When IP Multicast is used with NAT, in certain scenarios when NAT functionality returns error, multicast code does not free duplicate packet buffers eventually leading to exhaustion of packet buffer pool in the router.

Workaround: There is no real workaround except to disable NAT.

• CSCue74612

Symptom: FTP download fails in FTS client.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with FTS transfer over FTP via VRF.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCue75986

Symptom: The active route processor crashes because of a segmentation fault in the PIM IPv6 process after de-configuring a VRF.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when BGP, multicast-routing, or a VRF is de-configured while VRF-forwarding for the affected VRF is still configured on some interfaces and IPv6 multicast state entries exist within the affected VRF.

Workaround: Before removing a VRF using no vrf definition xxx, de-configuring “router bgp ...” or de-configuring multicast-routing for any VRF or for the global routing table, de-configure the IPv6 and the IPv4 MDT tunnels for affected VRFs as follows:

1. Under the “vrf definition ...”/ “address-family ipv6” configuration sub-mode, execute no mdt default ....

2. Under the “vrf definition ...”/ “address-family ipv4” configuration sub-mode, execute no mdt default ....

• CSCue76057

Symptom: On a SIP 400 with gigeV2 SPA, when EVC is configured with “encap default”, it is seen that sometimes the FUGU TCAM is not programmed with correct VVID for the EVC. This results in incoming traffic reaching the linecard with wrong VVID. This can impact traffic incoming on the EVC.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with an “encap default” configuration under EVC, or removal and re-application of “encap default” under EVC.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCue76102

Symptoms: Redistributed internal IPv6 routes from v6 IGP into BGP are not learned by the BGP neighboring routers.

Conditions: This symptom occurs because of a software issue, due to which the internal IPv6 redistributed routes from IGPs into BGP are not advertised correctly to the neighboring routers, resulting in the neighbors dropping these IPv6 BGP updates in inbound update processing. The result is that the peering routers do not have any such IPv6 routes in BGP tables from their neighbors.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCue81327

Symptoms: Standby RP crashes during bulk sync with:

Unexpected exception to CPU: vector 1400

Conditions: The crash occurs while syncing a shutdown TE tunnel interface configuration.

Workaround: Delete the shutdown TE tunnel configuration, if not required.

• CSCue89779

Symptom: A FlexVPN spoke configured with an inside VRF and front-door VRF may have problems with spoke-to-spoke tunnels if they are not the same. During tunnel negotiation, two Virtual-access interfaces are created (while only one is needed), the one in excess may fail to cleanup correctly. As a result, the routes created by NHRP process may lead to loss of traffic, or traffic may continue to flow through the Hub.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the VRF used on the overlay (IVRF) and the VRF used on the transport (FVRF) are not the same.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCue94653

Symptom: When the port-security configured interface goes to blocking state (MST), the VLANs configured on the port go to not-forwarding state temporarily. The secure mac-addresses are not added back resulting in loss of traffic.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when the port-security configured interface goes to blocking state.

Workaround: Shut and no shut the port-security interface to re-add the mac-addresses.

• CSCuf03079

Symptom: A Cisco IOS router running with ISIS remote-LFA configured can crash.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when shut/no shut is performed on an interface multiple times.

Workaround: Disable the ISIS remote-LFA configuration.

• CSCuf09006

Symptoms: Upon doing a clear ip bgp * soft out or graceful shutdown on a PE, all VPNv4/v6 routes on an RR from this PE are purged at the expiry of enhanced refresh stale-path timer.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with the following conditions:

1. 1. PE must have BGP peering with at least one CE (VRF neighbor) and at least one RR (VPN neighbor).

2. PE must have a rtfilter unicast BGP peering with the RR.

3. IOS version must have “Enhanced Refresh” feature enabled.

4. A clear ip bgp * soft out or graceful shutdown is executed on the PE.

Workaround: Instead of doing clear ip bgp * soft out, do a route refresh individually towards all neighbors.

• CSCuf09198

Symptom: After deleting a VRF, you are unable to reconfigure the VRF.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when BGP SAFI 129 address-family is not configured, but unicast routes are installed into multicast RIB to serve as upstream multicast hop, as described in RFC 6513. This applies to VRFs configured before BGP is configured.

Workaround: Beyond unconfiguring BGP, there is no workaround once the issue occurs. Configuring a dummy VRF multicast address-family under BGP before the issue occurs can prevent the problem from occurring.

• CSCuf30798

Symptom: SIP 600 crashes.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with VPLS VC going over GRE tunnel and chassis having both ES+ and SIP 600 card.

Workaround: Remove VPLS over GRE. This configuration is not supported.

• CSCuf56776

Symptom: After a linecard is removed and reinserted (OIR), traffic may fail to pass through some virtual circuits which have been configured for pseudowire redundancy.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the first segment ID in the redundancy group is numerically greater than the second segment.

PE1#show ssm id | inc 1st 1stMem: 16394 2ndMem: 12301 ActMem: 12301 1stMem: 16394 2ndMem: 12301 ActMem: 12301

After the OIR is performed, it can be seen that the segments are reversed on the linecard.

ESM-20G-12#sh ssm id | inc 1st 1stMem: 12301 2ndMem: 16394 ActMem: 12301 1stMem: 12301 2ndMem: 16394 ActMem: 12301

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuf60830

Symptom: Standby-RP occasionally crashes on process SSS Manager after an RP failover when the new Standby-RP attempts to sync.

Conditions: This symptom occurs during an RP Failover, at high scale, with a high churn of sessions and ISG services.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Conditions: The symptom is observed during router bootup.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuf62756

Symptom: If bandwidth qos-reference value is configured on an interface which bandwidth can change, then the actual interface bandwidth will be used for QoS service-policy validation when the interface bandwidth changes. This can result in a service-policy being removed if the interface bandwidth is insufficient to meet the requirements of the service-policy, such as bandwidth guarantees.

Conditions: This symptom occurs in variable-bandwidth interfaces such as EFM interfaces or PPP multilink bundles.

Workaround:

1. Use proportional actions in the QoS service-policy, such as “police rate percent....”, “bandwidth remaining ratio...”, “bandwidth remaining percent...”, and “priority percent”

2. You can configure bandwidth qos-reference with maximum bandwidth of the interface:

interface Ethernet0 bandwidth qos-reference <max bandwidth of interface>

This can prevent policy-map detached due to interface bandwidth change.

• CSCuf64313

Symptoms: Linecard crash is seen with machine-check exception.

Conditions: There is no trigger. The crash is random.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuf65371

Symptom: On LAC, with “l2tp hidden” configured under VPDN template, L2TP sessions are failing to establish on existing L2TP tunnels after RP failover.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with “l2tp hidden” configured under VPDN template.

Workaround: Tear down L2TP tunnels after RP failover, or unconfigure “l2tp hidden”. Disabling L2TP redundancy with “no l2tp sso enable” will fix issue as well.

• CSCuf68995

Symptom: Ping failures. Traffic gets dropped.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you configure MPLSoMGRE tunnel on PE1 and PE2. Initiate ping from CE1 to CE2. Packets reach the CE2 and replay is coming back but these packets are getting dropped on PE2. After PE2 switchover, ping fails from CE1 to CE2. PE2 is configured with MPLSoMGRE on an HA system.

• CSCuf81275

Symptom: Some ISG sessions do not pass traffic.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when you have more than one Line Card for the ISG sessions.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuf82179

Symptom: BGP routes remain installed in multicast RIB even after “address-family” configuration has been removed from “vrf definition”.

Conditions: This symptom is observed in MVPN topology, where the stale routes are installed as an upstream multicast hop, as described in RFC: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6513

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuf93376

Symptom: CUBE reloads while testing SDP passthrough with v6.

Conditions: The symptom is observed while testing SDP passthrough with v6.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuf93606

Symptoms: A Cisco 3945E router crashes.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with the following conditions:

– Extension mobility is configured for the phone. The logout profile should not be configured with any number.

– In the logged out state, user has to press the “NewCall” softkey followed by dialing any digit between 1-9 (excluding 0).

– Instead of pressing “dial” softkey, press “AbbrDial” softkey.

Workaround: Have a proper number configured under the logout profile.

• CSCug04187

Symptom: Build breakage.

Conditions: This symptom occurs due to CSCuf62756.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCug08561

Symptom: After a web-logon, users do not get the web-logon response page sent by the portal. If the web-logon is successful, users are not redirected to the web address which they have entered initially but are redirected to the portal for authentication.

Conditions: This symptom occurs under the following conditions:

1. Walkby feature is enabled with L4R & PBHK features applied to the lite session.

2. User initiated the web-logon request.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

More Info: When a user does a web-logon, an account-logon coa request is triggered from the portal to ISG. In ISG, the account-logon request triggers a lite session conversion to a dedicated session. During the conversion, lite session and its associated resources (L4R and PBHK mappings) are

removed from PD and a dedicated session gets provisioned. Once the conversion is done, ISG replies back with COA ACK/NACK to the portal. Based on the response from ISG, the portal generates a weblogon response (SUCCESS/FAILURE) page and sends it back to the client. But when it reaches ISG, the response packet does not get classified to session in the downstream direction and gets dropped in ISG because PBHK & L4R maping are deleted.

• CSCug10922

Symptom: A traceback is seen in the standby RP after a headend SSO.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when SSO tracebacks are seen.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCug15952

Symptom: %QOS-3-INDEX_EXISTS error message is shown and router crashes.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when sessions are bought up and the collision IDs with dynamic policy names are synced to standby from active. When the sessions time out and restart, the same dynamic policy names are synced to HA tree on standby again without cleaning up the tree earlier and the crash will happen.

Workaround: Avoid the same session reestablishment before rebooting the router.

• CSCug17724

Symptom: When using session protection and graceful restart for LDP, LDP neighbor goes down immediately after filtering LDP hello between routers. The LDP neighbor should go down after 10 minutes (default value of forwarding state holding time for GR).

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you enable session protection and graceful restart for LDP

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCug17808

Symptom: Redistributed default route not advertised to EIGRP peer.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when Cisco ASR router is rebooted or the route is cleared via the clear ip route command, the route disappears form the spokes.

Workaround: Clearing the EIGRP Neighborship restores the route on the spokes.

• CSCug18797

Symptom: Router crashes when it checks whether the interface is configured as DHCP SIP session initiator.

Conditions: The symptom is observed DHCP and ISG are configured.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCug20048

Symptom: MPLS traffic engineering BC MAM model does not take effect when configured.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you configure the BC MAM model.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptom: The “mod” value in the SSRAM may be inconsistent to the number of ECMP paths.

Conditions: This occurs with ECMP TE tunnels with tunnel mpls traffic-eng load-share value commands configured.

Workaround: Remove the tunnel mpls traffic-eng load-share value commands from the TE tunnels.

• CSCug24114

Symptom: CTS environment-data download fails from ISE.

Conditions: The symptom is observed if there is less PAC and environment-data refresh timer is configured in ISE. After multiple refreshes of PAC and environment data and the switch is reloaded, sometimes a CTS environment-data download fails from ISE on the switch.

Workaround: Unconfigure pac key CLI and configure it again as below:

no pac key pac key <key-id>

• CSCug25258

Symptom: Router crashes while running the show interface rate-limit command. When entries down the list of the output disappear for reasons such as interfaces going down or PPPoE clients disconnecting, the router may crash when you hit the space bar to get to these invalid entries.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when rate limiting is configured.

Workaround: Configure term length 0 before running the show output.

• CSCug28904

Symptoms: Router drops ESP packets with CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_MAC_ERR.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when the peer router sends nonce with length 256 bytes.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCug33084

Symptom: SP/DFC crash is seen when churn on multicast is done, either through provisioning/unprovisioning or other network event.

Conditions: The issue occurs when a pointer to an already freed hal_context is still present in a replicate queue. Later during churn the same pointer is accessed which leads to the crash.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCug34404

Symptom: RP crash seen at be_interface_action_remove_old_sadb.

Conditions: The symptom is observed while unconfiguring the 4K SVTI sessions after an HA test.

• CSCug39278

Symptom: L3 QoS policy not working in EVC L3 VPN.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when CFM is enabled globally.

Workaround: Disable CFM.

• CSCug44667

Symptom: SG3 fax call failures observed for STCAPP audio calls.

Conditions: Fax CM tone detection is turned ON even when all fax and modem related configurations have been disabled on the STCAPP gateway.

Workaround: STCAPP modem pass-through feature can be enabled, but you may run into issues with some answering SG3 fax machines which have stringent requirements for fax CM signal.

• CSCug50208

Symptom: A crash is seen due to double free of memory.

Conditions: The symptom is seen when the accept interface VLAN goes down.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCug50340

Symptom: PW traffic is not flowing after SSO/card reset the active PTF card.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with the following conditions:

1. Create a unprotected tunnel between the active PTF card and create a PW.

2. Apply the table map. Bi-directional traffic is flowing fine.

3. SSO/reset the active PTF card in node 106 (4/1).

4. Now tunnel core port is in standby card.

5. Observed bi-directional traffic is not flowing once the card becomes up.

6. Again reset the active PTF card (5/4).

7. Observe uni-directional traffic only is flowing.

Workaround: Delete the PW and recreate it again. However, note that if you do an SSO/card reset, the issue reappears.

• CSCug52119

Symptom: A RIB route is present for a prefix, but the router continues to LISP encapsulate.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when a LISP map-cache existed for a prefix and then the RIB route was added later.

Workaround: Use the following command:

clear ip/ipv6 lisp map-cache <prefix>

• CSCug58617

• CSCug59746

Symptom: A crash is seen on the RP in the SS manager process:

Exception to IOS Thread: Frame pointer 0x7F58BB22FE80, PC = 0x7C505FBUNIX-EXT-SIGNAL: Segmentation fault(11), Process = SSS Manager -Traceback= 1#980611ad3b9665cd80fe5178bcd6036a :400000+78505FB :400000+7C68774 :400000+7C6871A :400000+1C13522 :400000+7852194 :400000+78512C8 :400000+7C68774 :400000+7C6871A :400000+33A8AC1 :400000+77DD92F :400000+33C3E4C :400000+33AFE89 :400000+33B2564 :400000+7824301 :400000+7823F37 :400000+77FA27F

Conditions: The issue appears to be related to NAS port. It looks like a key is being set when the issue occurred. The exact conditions are still being investigated.

Workaround: Possibly remove radius or more specifically, NAS port configurations. This still needs to be verified.

• CSCug61485

Symptom: The Cisco ASR 1000 RP crashes in RSVP.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when “mpls traffic-eng tunnels” is configured on an interface and “ip rsvp bandwidth” is not configured and the bandwidth on the physical interface is changed.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCug62154

Symptom: CPU shoots to 100% with TACACS configuration. VTY to the device does not work due to this.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the router or switch is booted up with TACACS configurations and the CPU shoots up to 100%. Telnet to the router is not possible. Any command issued on the console would take lot of time.

Workaround: Remove the TACACS configurations and then reboot the router.

• CSCug63013

Symptom: A DMVPN spoke router running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 and configured with “if-state nhrp” might not re-form eigrp neighbourship if the line protocol on the interface goes down and comes back automatically.

Conditions: This symptom occurs in a DMVPN spoke router running 15.2(4)M3 with “if-state nhrp" configured and interface line protocol going down. It must also be using the new multicast code (15.1(4)M onwards).

Workaround:

– Removing “ip nhrp map multicast x.x.x.x y.y.y.y” and readding it resolves the problem.

– Shut/no shut on the tunnel interface

• CSCug63839

Symptom: The Cisco 7301 router running c7301-advipservicesk9-mz.152-4.M3 experiences a memory leak in the Crypto IKMP process particularly on the crypto_ikmp_config_send_ack_addr function.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when running the Cisco 7301 router and connecting EasyVPN through it.

Workaround: Reload the router over a period of time.

• CSCug68193

Symptom: Multicast traffic across ES+ cards stop flowing across subinterfaces.

Conditions: The symptom is observed after a linecard OIR. After the linecard comes up, multicast traffic stops flowing across subinterfaces.

Workaround: Shut/no shut the subinterface.

• CSCug69253

Symptom: Users will see the following error message on unconfiguring a port-map of a protocol:

% NBAR Error: Specified port(s) are associated with <protocol-name>

Conditions: This symptom occurs when users have port-mapped a protocol on which other protocols are dependant, and this port-map configuration includes the well-known port as well. On unconfiguring this port-map configuration, the error message will be shown.

For example, a lot of protocols are dependant on http (share-point, youtube, skype, etc.) because they run over http. If the user port-maps http and includes its well-known port (80) in the configuration, then the following error message will be shown during unconfiguration:

Router(config)#no ip nbar port-map http tcp 80 94 8080 3128 8092 % NBAR Error: Specified port(s) are associated with share-point

Workaround: Users will not be able to remove this port-map configuration. To revert back, reconfigure http to its original configuration (tcp 80), save the configuration, and reload the router

The following is the CLI to reconfigure http to its well-known configuration:

Router(config)#ip nbar port-map http tcp 80

• CSCug72891

Symptom: EIGRP neighbor flaps due to EIGRP SIA. Troubleshooting shows that a race condition causes EIGRP successor loop first and it leads to EIGRP QUERY loop resulting in the neighbor flaps.

Conditions: The issue is observed when a worse metric update is received from the successor, once the route is already in active state, in a partially peered multiaccess network.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCug78098

Symptom: Supervisor engine crashes and the Cisco IOS software is forced to reload due to PIM process.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when using the command, show ip pim rp-hash right after the BSR RP times out, causes the crash.

Workaround: Perform these steps in the following order:

1. Wait for a minute after BSR RP times out before using this command.

2. Configuring no ip domain lookup will make the time taken to execute show ip pim rp-hash to a few milliseconds. This will prevent the crash from being reproduced manually.

• CSCug78929

Symptom: Packets of a certain protocol are dropped due to v6 PACL applied on a switch port.

• CSCug94275

Symptom: ES+ card crashes with an unexpected exception to CPU: vector 200, PC = 0x0.

Conditions: The symptom is observed on the ES+ series linecards on a Cisco 7600 series router. Symptom is reported on the ES+ console and in the crashinfo file on the ES+ flash disk. It is not reported in the syslog.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuh07349

Symptom: A Cisco 7600 Sup may crash due to SP memory corruption.

Conditions: This issue is observed on an REP enabled router, which is part of an REP segment. The exact trigger for this issue is not clear.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuh07657

Symptom: VRF Aggregate label is not re-originated after a directly connected CE facing interface (in VRF) is shut down.

Conditions: This symptom occurs in an MPLS VPN set-up with Cisco 7600(PE) Router running on Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE4 with per VRF aggregation.

For example:

mpls label mode vrf TEST protocol all-afs per-vrf

Workaround: Downgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE3 or earlier.

• CSCuh16115

Symptom: With VPLS configuration with IP-FRR, on doing multiple churns SP/LC may crash.

Conditions: The issue occurs when xconnect internal data structre is to be freed up and IP FRR is still pointing to it.

Workaround: Remove IP-FRR configuration before unprovisioning xconnect.

• CSCuh16927

Symptom: Mac entries learned on a trunk link are flushed after removing VLANs.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when some allowed VLANs are removed on a trunk link, all mac address entries learned on this link are flushed. This is issue is specific to extended VLAN IDs.

Workaround: Executing ping to destination IP after removing VLANs will recover this condition.

• CSCuh21740

Symptom: There is a deletion and addition of VRFs with MVPNV6 configurations.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when PIM VRF neighbors are not up.

Workaround: Reload the router.

• CSCuh24040

Symptom: BGP routes are not marked Stale and considered best routes even though the BGP session with the peer is torn down. A hard or soft reset of the BGP peering session does not help.

For BFD-related triggering, the following messages are normally produced with the BGP-5-ADJCHANGE message first, and the BGP_SESSION-5-ADJCHANGE message second. Under normal conditions, the two messages will have identical timestamps. When this problem is seen, the order of the messages will be reversed, with the BGP_SESSION-5-ADJCHANGE message appearing first, and with a slightly different timestamp from the BGP-5-ADJCHANGE message. In the problem case, the BGP_SESSION-5-ADJCHANGE message will also include the string “NSF peer closed the session”

For example when encountering this bug, you would see:

May 29 18:16:24.414: %BGP_SESSION-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor x.x.x.x IPv4 Unicast vpn vrf VRFNAME topology base removed from session NSF peer closed the session May 29 18:16:24.526: %BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor x.x.x.x vpn vrf VRFNAME Down BFD adjacency down

Instead of:

May 29 18:16:24.354: %BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor x.x.x.x vpn vrf VRFNAME Down BFD adjacency down May 29 18:16:24.354: %BGP_SESSION-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor x.x.x.x IPv4 Unicast vpn vrf VRFNAME topology base removed from session BFD adjacency down

Log messages associated for non-BFD triggers are not documented.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when BGP graceful restart is used in conjunction with BFD, but it is possible (but very low probability) for it to happen when BGP graceful restart processing happens when any other type of BGP reset (eg: clear command) is in progress.

Affected configurations all include: router bgp ASN ... bgp graceful-restart ...

The trigger is that BGP exceeds its CPU quantum during the processing of a reset, and gives up the CPU, and then BGP Graceful Restart processing runs before BGP can complete its reset processing. This is a very low probability event, and triggering it is going to be highly dependent on the configuration of the router, and on BGP’s CPU requirements.

It is not possible to trigger this bug unless BGP graceful-restart is configured.

Workaround: If you are engaged in active monitoring of router logs, and the bug is being triggered by a BFD-induced reset, you can detect this situation by watching for the reversal of log message order described in the Symptoms section, and then take manual steps to remedy this problem when it occurs.

On the problematic router, issue no neighbor <xxx> activate command under the proper address-family will clear the stale routes.

The other option is to manually shutdown the outgoing interface which marks the routes as “inaccessible” and hence not been used anymore. This prevents the traffic blackhole but the routes will stay in the BGP table.

More Info: This bug affects all releases where CSCsk79641 or CSCtn58128 is integrated. Releases where neither of those fixes is integrated are not affected.

• CSCuh27770

Symptom: On a dual-RP system which is configured for stateful switchover (SSO), some VPLS virtual circuits may fail to be provisioned on the standby route processor.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the VFI consists of VLAN interfaces that are also configured for IP.

Workaround: Reload the standby RP.

• CSCuh29716

Symptom: When a call is transferred from IVR to PSTN, the codec negotiation with Verizon fails only if the original invite received includes fax capabilities, dropping the call with reason code 47 and hanging the UDP port used.

Call flow:

Verizon -- CUBE -- CUSP -- Genesys/IVR, transferred with SIP Refer back to PSTN hair-pinning the call on CUBE.

All subsequent calls that try to re-use the same UDP port for RTP stream are dropped with reason code 47 and provisn RSP fail is logged on show voip fpi stats.

Conditions: This symptom occurs in hair-pinned calls that receive FAX capabilities on the original SIP invite from Verizon.

Workaround: There is no workaround. Reload the router to clear UDP ports.

• CSCuh32177

Symptom: The no passive-interface <if-name> command will be added automatically after configuring the ipv6 enable command on the interface even though the passive-interface default command is configured for OSPFv3.

--- (config)#interface FastEthernet0/2/0 (config-if)#ipv6 enable (config-if)#end#sh run | sec ipv6 router ospf ipv6 router ospf 100 router-id 10.1.1.1 passive-interface default no passive-interface FastEthernet0/2/0 <<< Added automatically. ---

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the passive-interface default command is configured for OSPFv3.

Workaround: Adjust the configuration manually. In this example it would be “passive-interface FastEthernet0/2/0”.

• CSCuh40275

Symptom: SNMP occupies more than 90% of the CPU.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when polling the cefFESelectionTable MIB.

Workaround:Execute the following commands:

• CSCuh40329

Symptom: OSPFV3 runs as PE-CE, but used to learn IPv4 prefixes. Core facing interface is GRE tunnel where OSPF and LDP runs. OSPV3 based Shamlinks are created between PEs. When tunnel flaps , OSPF and LDP recovers, but in a few seconds tunnel locks up. In locked up condition, all traffic fails on the tunnel, even directly connected pings. The only way to recover is to reconfigure the tunnel from scratch. It happens fairly consistently after every re-convergence, not every time though.

Conditions: This symptom is seen only on ISRG2s that are configured as PEs. They are so far seen with 3925 running Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2)T and 2911 running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3.

Workaround: Use OSPF V2 based shamlinks.

• CSCuh40617

• CSCuh43027

Symptom: Prefixes withdrawn from BGP are not removed from the RIB, although they are removed from the BGP table.

Conditions: A withdraw message contains more than one NLRI, one of which is for a route that is not chosen as best. If deterministic med is enabled, then the other NLRI in the withdraw message might not eventually be removed from the RIB.

Workaround: Forcibly clear the RIB.

• CSCuh43252

Symptom: After upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SE3, you can no longer authenticate using TACACS. The TPLUS process on the switch will be pushing the CPU up to 99%.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you use TACACS for authentication.

Workaround: Downgrade the switch to a version prior to Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SE3.

• CSCuh43255

Symptom: The BGP task update-generation process may cause the router to reload, in a rare timing condition when there is prefix flap and there is high scale of prefixes going through update-generation, including the flapping prefix.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when the Cisco ASR router is acting as a route server for BGP along with having various route-server contexts. The router does not do any forwarding. It merely processes control plane traffic.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

More Info: The setup is the same as mentioned in this doc: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ios_xe/iproute_bgp/configuration/guide/irg_route_server_xe.html.

• CSCuh46031

Conditions: This symptom is intermittent and is seen only when the DSPs available are insufficient to support the number of calls.

Workaround: Ensure that sufficient DSPs are available for transcoding.

• CSCtx50235

Symptoms: During a crash on the Cisco Catalyst 6500, the normal crash information from the crashinfo files may be missing due to the crashes showing the Routing processor (RP) being reset by the Switching Processor (SP) and the RP crashinfo also showing the RP being reset by the SP. This bug addresses this serviceability issue and it has nothing to do with the root cause of the crash itself.

In a majority of cases, the crash has been a single-event crash and has not repeated.

Conditions: Conditions of this symptom are not known currently. At this point, it is believed that the real fault of the crash belongs to the SP.

• CSCtz97197

Symptoms: SIP SPAs go in the out of service state in a scaled subinterface configuration (more than 2000 subinterfaces on a single Gigabit Ethernet port).

Conditions: This symptom occurs while performing ISSU between the iso1-rp2 and iso2-rp2 Cisco IOS XE Release 3.6S throttle image. After ISSU runversion, the SIP SPAs go in the out of service state. This issue is seen in a heavily scaled configuration. The issue is observed when there are 2000 to 3000 subinterfaces on a single SPA and the following limits are exceeded:

Overall Dual stack VRFs per box: 2800 Dual stack limit on interface: 1000

Workaround: This issue is not seen in the following scenario:

1. Before doing a load version from RP0(initial active), enter the following command:

asr1000# show ipv6 route table | inc IPv6

2. Note down the number of IPv6 route tables in the system.

3. Do a load version.

4. Wait for standby to come up to Standby hot.

5. Enable the standby console from RP0 (active).

asr1000#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. asr1000(config)# asr1000(config)#redundancy asr1000(config-red)#main-cpu asr1000(config-r-mc)#standby console enable

6. Log in to the standby console and enter the following command:

• CSCub58119

Symptoms: VRF-aware GRE tunnel traffic drops while performing SSO(VRF-GRE tunnel adjacency is wrong after performing SSO).

Conditions: This symptom occurs because of incorrect programming of the adjacency interface.The adjacency information on the standby is incorrect as it does not get synced from “active”. Configure VRF-aware GRE tunnels and send traffic to all the tunnels. Perform SSO and traffic drops on all the tunnels.

Workaround: Reload the router or perform shut/no shut on the tunnels.

• CSCub60422

Symptoms: The ME-3600X-24CX-M box crashes on executing the diagnostic start test all command.

Conditions: This symptom occurs on executing the diagnostic start test all command.

2. Using radius attribute “ipv6-addr-pool” for assigning IPv6 address from a Ipv6 pool defined works fine.

3. If Radius attribute “addrv6” is used to assign IPv6 address then the IPv6 address assignment fails and client sends notification with internal address failure.

• CSCuc05929

Symptoms: After a reload, sometimes the MPLS forwarding function on some interfaces is not enabled. Some interfaces that were configured with “mpls ip” and link-state-up do not show with the show mpls interface command. This issue depends on a timing of the interface up.

Conditions: Sometimes the issue occurs after a router reload or SIP/SPA reload. It is not affected when you configure “mpls ip” on an interface, admin-shutdown/no shutdown, and link-flap.

Workaround: There is no workaround. When the issue occurs, do an admin-shutdown/no shutdown on the affected interface or disable/re-enble MPLS on the interface.

• CSCuc21610

Symptoms: The console displays a message indicating that offloading is not supported for the BFD echo mode.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when a BFD session is configured in the echo mode.

Workaround: There is no workaround. The issue has no functionality impact.

• CSCuc23542

Symptoms: The PXE client network boot fails when an ME3600-running 152-4.S is the DHCP relay agent.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the ME3600 changes the option 54 “DHCP Server Identifier” address to its own IP address in the DHCP Offer received from the PXE DHCP server. This causes the client to send the PXE boot request (port 4011) to the ME3600 instead of the PXE server.

Workaround: Downgrade ME3600 to Cisco IOS Release 15.1(2)EY.

• CSCuc31761

Symptoms: The router crashes when GDOI groups are removed.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the “crypto isakmp diagnose error <no>” CLI is enabled. This CLI is now enabled by default.

Multiple CUCM’s ---> SIP --->CUBE SP--->Provider

Conditions: This symptom occurs in the Cisco IOS Release 15.2(01)S01 and is only active when there are calls running SIP TCP. During create/close transaction on TCP, the control buffer will be on hold. So if closing of the existing TCP connection is needed while the control buffers are all being held, the connection will be marked as dead and will not be able to notify the corresponding peer. Therefore, the peer might still send data through that connection which CUBE-SP would think as invalid and get dropped internally.

Workaround: Send the SIP call as UDP instead of TCP.

• CSCuc59386

Symptoms: Continuous IOMD crashes occur on OC-3 IM. Interfaces on OC-3 IM are not configurable and the following error message is seen:

stand-by does not support this command

Conditions: This symptom is seen on an HA Cisco ASR 903 router setup with OC-3 IM. It is observed when an IOMD crash happens on an active RSP and the standby IOMD session handle is not cleared.

Workaround: Reload the standby RSP.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuc96345

Symptoms: ARP exchange between the Cisco 7600 and the client device fails. The Cisco 7600 has an incomplete ARP entry in its ARP table for the client. This issue is likely to be seen between the Cisco 7600 and other Cisco platforms with MAC address 6073.5Cxx.xxxx. The incoming ARP reply is parsed by the platform CEF as an IP packet and dropped.

The following OUIs (as of October 30, 2012) are affected: (first 3 bytes from MAC address/MAC starts with)

14-73-73 20-73-55 4C-73-67 4C-73-A5 54-73-98 60-73-5C (One of Cisco’s OUI ranges) 64-73-E2 70-73-CB 8C-73-6E 98-73-C4 A0-73-32 C4-73-1E D0-73-8E F0-73-AE F4-73-CA

Workaround: - There should be a static ARP entry on the Cisco 7600 for the client’s MAC and IP. - Change the MAC address of client to a nonaffected OUI.

NOTE: This DDTS is caused or exposed due to fix of CSCtc22745.

• CSCuc96631

Symptoms: Incoming calls through e1 r2 stop working in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M1.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with incoming calls through e1 r2 in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M1. Outgoing calls work fine.

Workaround: Use Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)T.

• CSCud01502

Symptoms: A crash occurs in CME while accessing a stream in sipSPIDtmfRelaySipNotifyConfigd.

Conditions: This symptom occurs in CME.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCud03250

Symptoms: Large TCP data transfers take longer than expected (about a 40% increase in time). In particular, initial BGP convergence for a full internet routing table after reload is known to increase by several minutes. Performance degradation was seen starting the XE37 throttle build 09/18 (BLD_V152_4_S_XE37_THROTTLE_LATEST_20120918_070025).

A comparison of sniffer traces of affected and unaffected traffic will show that in impacted versions of Cisco IOS, TCP more frequently probes the path MTU, and that when the larger packets are dropped, it treats these drops as indicating the presence of network congestion, and slows down the rate of data transmission.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the user tries with the BLD_V152_4_S_XE37_THROTTLE_LATEST_20120917_070015 label and the performance number is still good, but the BLD_V152_4_S_XE37_THROTTLE_LATEST_20120918_070025 label image shows much higher performance numbers in the order of 400 seconds. This issue is seen when the user also tries with the BLD_V152_4_S_XE37_THROTTLE_LATEST_20120917_070015 label.

Workaround: The underlying problem is caused by changes in the TCP path MTU discovery algorithm. Disable TCP path MTU discovery for affected BGP neighbors. Depending on the release, this is done by configuring the following:

neighbor x.x.x.x transport path-mtu-discovery disable or no neighbor x.x.x.x transport path-mtu-discovery

Note that the use of this workaround may have other negative performance consequences caused by packet fragmentation, and there may be a need to tune interface MSS.

• CSCud05368

Symptoms: Traffic will be redirected to the WCCP client even when it is denied in the WCCP redirect ACL.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with WCCP on the Cisco ASR 1000 router, when there are port(s) defined in service definition, for example, 80 for web-cache, while different port(s) defined in permit entries of redirect-ACL.

For example: permit tcp any eq 81

• CSCud22038

Symptoms: When a PC is moved between two VLAN ports (on one port, ISG is enabled and the other port is non-ISG) several times by its LAN cable connection on the L2SW that is connected to the Cisco ASR 1000 router, the PC is unable to receive DHCP OFFER due to the wrong VLAN ID from the DHCP server on the Cisco ASR 1000 router.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S1.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCud24601

Symptoms: After performing an SSO on a Quad-SUP setup, the previous standby displays the following error message on the console:

• CSCud64870

Symptom: DMVPN hub ASR1004 may crash after fetching the CRL from MS CRL server.

Conditions: The crash occurs when there are 5 CDPs for the hub router to fetch the CRL. Since there are multiple CDPs, the hub router fetches the CRL in a parallel way, which leads to a crash under a timing issue.

Workaround: Setting up one CDP instead of multiple CDPs will avoid the timing condition that leads to the crash.

• CSCud66955

Symptoms: SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM is flapping with Nortel Passport due to the fast bouncing of up or down 10s, after the interface is brought up.

• CSCud86240

Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1000 ESP crashes (ucode core file created) when compressed packets are sent on a Multilink PPP interface using the Cisco IOS XE 3.5 Release and earlier Cisco ASR 1000 software images. On Cisco IOS XE 3.6 Release and later on Cisco ASR 1000 software images a crash does not occur, but routed traffic on configured interfaces are not forwarded.

However, local traffic between the peer routers may still be forwarded. In all releases, routed traffic will be dropped on any other interfaces (for example, PPP, Multilink PPP, HDLC, and so on.) configured for this mode of compression.

Conditions: This symptom is observed if the legacy IOS compression feature compress [mppc | stac | predictor] is configured on any interface (for example, PPP, Multilink PPP, HDLC, and so on.).

If this feature is configured on a Multilink PPP interface then the ESP crash can be encountered if using an Cisco IOS XE 3.5 Release and an earlier Cisco ASR 1000 software image.

Workaround: Remove the compress [mppc | stac | predictor] feature configuration from all interfaces as this functionality is not supported on the Cisco ASR 1000 router. The software fix associated with this bug report will be removing this configuration option from the Cisco ASR 1000 router.

• CSCud90457

Symptoms: The serial interface of CE interfaces connected to the CEM interfaces on PE remain down on router reload with scaled configuration.

*Dec 16 17:58:02.432: IOSXE_PLATFORM-3-WDC_INVALID_LENGTH WDC length can not be determined: 65535 *Dec 16 17:58:10.703: PLATFORM_SCC-1-AUTHENTICATION_FAIL Chassis authentication failed *Dec 16 17:58:10.703: IOSXE_AUTHENTICATE-2-AUTHENTICATE_FAILED. The platform authentication failed

Conditions: Programming of Quack & WDC (Watch Dog Certificate) was accidentally disabled in manufacturing during the regression testing. This caused units to ship without Quack & WDC programming. These messages show up at boot up for those specific units that had the quack disabled.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Field Action: Strategy for Field Units:

– Update Cisco IOS to remove authentication error messages for impacted serial numbers only. This action is In progress.

– Target code releases with the update include Cisco XE 3.7.3 and Cisco XE3.8.1 and later.

– TAC teams have the effective serial number list. Customers will be given a choice to upgrade to new Cisco IOS image (availability to be confirmed) or RMA the unit.

– Customer also have the option to take no action if they want to ignore this message.

• CSCuf43548

Symptoms: When the POS Rx fiber at the tail end of the MPLS TE FRR is pulled, the FRR takes longer than 200ms to cut over to the other tunnel.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with POS MPLS TE FRR when the head end receives a remote defect due to the Rx fiber pull at the tail end. Remote defects do not trigger FRR quickly.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuf65255

Symptoms: CPU hog is caused by unnecessary calling of avl_get_next to calculate the dynamic MPLS label range for each of the service instances configured (especially for L3VPN services).

Conditions: This symptom occurs under the following conditions:

1. When running configuration is accessed using the “show running-config” CLI.

2. While copying running configuration to either the startup configuration or the local disk or the tftp server.

This results in the copy operation taking more than 300 seconds (for an average configuration size of 1000kB).

Workaround: Reducing the number of BGP routes injected for L3VPN sessions causes the CPU hog to last for a smaller duration.

• CSCtz50683

Symptoms: Upon removing 10 x MDLP sessions, one or more hardware adj remains. This happens due to incorrect removal of LSPs.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when more than eight sub-LSPs occur.

Workaround: Use no more than eight sub-LSPs.

• CSCtz55979

Symptoms: The router crashes.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when you configure CFM, SCE over MPLS, VPLS, or G.8032 services while running SNMP polling.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz58189

Symptoms: The router crashes on using the config replace command with certain QoS configured on the box.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when certain QoS are configured on the box are replaced with the configuration that is removing the configurations.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz58391

Symptoms: Ingress QoS Tcams are not cleared after certain dynamic changes.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on removing the encapsulation from the service instance and then deleting the service instance. QoS Tcams are not cleared.

Workaround: Instead of deleting the encapsulation first, delete the service instance first.

• CSCtz88879

Symptoms: When testing for DMVPN in a HUB-SPOKE topology, where there are 170 tunnels protected with IPsec on Spoke and one mGRE tunnel on hub. B2B redundancy is configured. No QoS is applied on the scaled IPsec tunnels. Upon doing SSO with this configuration, the “%VPNSMIOS-3-MACEDONTUNNELVLANERR: Tunnelx: allocated idb has invalid vlan id” error message is seen repeatedly on the new active and the router becomes almost inaccessible. As can be seen from the show vlan int usage command output, there are more than 3K free VLANs on both the hub and spoke.

*May 14 12:31:10.315: %VPNSMIOS-3-MACEDONTUNNELVLANERR: Tunnel87: allocated idb has invalid vlan id*May 14 12:31:10.511: %VPNSMIOS-3-MACEDONTUNNELVLANERR: Tunnel26: allocated idb has invalid vlan id *May 14 12:31:10.543: %VPNSMIOS-3-MACEDONTUNNELVLANERR: Tunnel28: allocated idb has invalid vlan id *May 14 12:31:10.575: %VPNSMIOS-3-MACEDONTUNNELVLANERR: Tunnel90: allocated idb has invalid vlan id

After a continuous flood of error messages, a Granikos crash is seen, and the show cry eli command shows only one SPA and this SPA is stuck in INIT state.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when doing a shut/no shut using the interface range command, and once all tunnels are up, doing an SSO.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua01641

RADIUS: Acct-Delay-Time [41] 6 0

Conditions: This symptom occurs when you restart the router.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua12396

Symptoms: IPv6 multicast routing is broken when there are master switchover scenarios with a large number of members in stack. This issue is seen on platforms such as Cisco 3750E and Cisco 3750X where IPV6 multicast routing is supported.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when IPV6 multicast routing is configured, mcast routes are populated, and traffic is being forwarded. In case of master switchover, synchronization between the master and members is disrupted. This issue is seen only for IPv6 multicast routing. This issue has been observed with a 9-member stack and either during the first or second master switchover. No issues are seen for IPv4 multicast routing.

Workaround: This scenario was tested with a 5-member stack, and no issues were seen. It is recommended to enable IPv6 multicast routing when there is deployment with low members in a stack.

• CSCua15003

Symptoms: When a call is canceled mid-call, the CUBE may not release the transcoder resource for the call. As a result, there is a DSP resource leak.

Conditions: This symptom can occur in the following situations:

– CUBE receives 180 ringing with an SDP session.

– “media transcoder high-density” is enabled.

Workaround: Disable “media transcoder high-density”.

• CSCua20373

Symptoms: After SSO, all the GRE tunnels get admin down and stay down until the security module SSC-600/WS-IPSEC-3 comes up. Complete traffic loss is seen during this time.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when Vanilla GRE tunnels are configured in the system where HA and the IPsec Module SSC-600/WS-IPSEC-3 card is present, “crypto engine mode vrf” is configured, and SSO is issued.

Workaround: Remove the “cryto engine mode vrf” configuration if IPsec is not enabled on the router.

• CSCua24689

Symptoms: Fragments are sent without label resulting in packet drops on the other side.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the following conditions:

– MPLS enabled DMVPN tunnel on egress.

– VFR on ingress.

Workaround: Disable VFR, if possible.

• CSCua26064

Symptoms: IPv6 routes in the global routing table take up different adjacency entries.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when there are four core facing tunnels that load balance traffic to these prefixes. The show mls cef ipv6 prefix detail command shows the different adjacencies taken by different prefixes.

Workaround: Have a single tunnel on the core facing side, instead of a load balanced path.

• CSCua31934

Symptoms: A crash is seen at __be_address_is_unspecified.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the following conditions:

1. It occurs one out of three times and it is a timing issue.

2. DMVPN tunnel setup between Cisco 2901 as the spoke and Cisco ASR 1000 as the hub.

3. Pass IPv4 and IPv6 traffic between the hub and the spoke for 5-10 minutes.

4. It can occur with v6 traffic alone.

5. If you remove the tunnel interface on the Cisco ASR and add it again using conf replace nvram:startup-config command, the crash will occur.

Workaround: Use CLI to change configuration instead of the rollback feature.

• CSCua42523

Symptoms: The router crashes and reloads when “options-keepalive” is enabled on a dial peer which has session target as sip-server.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when enabling “options-keepalive” which has a session target as sip-server. Also, “sip-server” is configured under “sip-ua” and has a DNS address which resolves to an IPv6 address.

Workaround: Do not enable “options-keepalive” for dial peer.

• CSCua45206

Symptoms: The hub router crashes while removing the Stale Cache entry.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when two spokes are translated to the same NAT address.

Workaround: Spokes behind the same NAT box must be translated to different post-NAT Addresses.

• CSCua49764

Symptoms: The WAAS-Express device goes offline on WCM.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when a certificate is generated using HTTPS when using the Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)T image. Once upgraded to Cisco IOS Release 15.2(3)T, the WAAS-Express device goes offline on WCM.

Workaround: Configure an rsakeypair on the TP-self-signed trustpoint with the same name and execute the enroll command again or delete the self-signed trustpoint point and reenable the HTTP secure-server.

• CSCua55785

Symptoms: Build breakage occurs due to the fix of CSCtx34823.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with the CSCtx34823 fix.

Workaround: CSCtx34823 change may be unpatched from the code-base.

• CSCua56999

Symptoms: Abnormal line card reload occurs.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when an MVPNv6 scaled router acts as PE on which source traffic is ingressing and the line card is connected on the access side.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua61330

Symptoms: Traffic loss is observed during switchover if,

1. BGP graceful restart is enabled.

2. The next-hop is learned by BGP.

Conditions: This symptom occurs on a Cisco router running Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua81998

Symptoms: Doing ISSU RV in a Cisco 7600 box with the ES40 line card may sometimes cause a crash in the ES40 line card.

• CSCua82440

Symptoms: FNF records do not get exported when a user reloads the router.

Conditions: This symptom occurs if a user configures a nondefault export-protocol, that is, anything other than “netflow-v9”. If the user configures a nondefault export-protocol such as IPFIX or netflow-v5, after saving the configuration to the start-up configuration and reloading the router, the exporter will not export any records.

Workaround: Either one of the following methods will fix this issue:

1. Remove and reconfigure the exporter configuration after reload.

2. Change the export-protocol to the default value (netflow-v9).

• CSCua85239

Symptoms: Flapping BGP sessions are seen if large BGP update messages are sent out and BGP packets are fragmented because midpoint routers have the smaller "mtu" or "ip mtu" configured.

Conditions: This symptom is observed between two BGP peers with matching MD5 passwords configured and can be triggered by the following conditions:

– If the midpoint path has the “mtu” or “ip mtu” setting that is smaller than the outgoing interface on BGP routers, it will be force the BGP router to fragment the BGP packet while sending packets through the outgoing interface.

– Peering down and the MD5 error do not always occur. They occur only once or twice within 10 tests.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua85604

Symptoms: Ingress Qos on EVC stops working after reload or after interface flap.

Conditions: This symptom occurs only on EVC QOS.

Workaround: Remove and reconfigure the QOS on EVC.

• CSCua90061

• CSCub04112

Symptoms: The router may lose OSPF routes pointing to the reconfigured OSPF interface.

Conditions: This symptom occurs after quick removal and adding of the interface IP address by script or copy and paste.

For example, configure the following:

interface Ethernet0/0 ip address 1.1.100.200 255.255.255.0 ip ospf network point-to-point ip ospf 1 area 0end

Then, quickly remove/add the IP address:

conf tinterface Ethernet0/0 no ip address 1.1.100.200 255.255.255.0 ip address 1.1.100.200 255.255.255.0 ip ospf network point-to-point ip ospf 1 area 0end

Workaround: Insert a short delay in between commands for removing/adding the IP address. The delay should be longer than the wait interval for LSA origination; by default, it is 500 ms. Or, refresh the routing table by “clear ip route *”.

• CSCub04345

• CSCub07855

Symptoms: The VRF error message is displayed in the router.

Conditions: This symptom occurs upon router bootup.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCub15105

Symptoms: Traffic drop of MVPNv6 data MDT packets is seen.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on doing a VRF delete and adding it on the encapsulated PE in a scaled MVPNv6 setup; the L3 DENY RESULT drop counters increment for the encapsulated VLAN v4. From a multicast point of view, the drop is at the point where the packet reaches the encapsulated VLAN v4 to proceed further with backbone forwarding.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCub15402

Symptoms: A VRF cannot be deleted. The following error message is displayed:

error message "% Deletion of VRF VPNA in progress; wait for it to complete".

Conditions: This symptom occurs after having previously issued “sh ip cef vrf * sum”.

Workaround: There is no workaround. Reboot is required to remove the VRF.

• CSCub22049

Symptoms: Native MCAST traffic is not forwarded over a nile1 after core interface shut/no shut.

Conditions: This symptom is observed after doing shut/no shut or interface flap a couple of times.

Workaround: “clear ip mroute <mcast_group>” or “clear ip route *”.

Further Problem Description: Not all the multicast groups will be affected. The behavior is inconsistent.

• CSCub23231

Symptoms: Very specific events/packet types cause the ES20 LC to stop passing traffic. Information on these events and packets that lead to the issue are not known currently.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the ES20 interface has an EVC or MPLS configuration.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the router is configured as ISG L2-Connect, the router has configured HSRP as the high-availability method, and the subscriber-facing interface is configured with “no ip proxy arp”. This issue is not seen if either HSRP is removed or if “ip proxy arp” is enabled.

Workaround: Clear the subscriber session. After the subscriber is reintroduced, the issue is resolved. You can also configure “ip proxy arp” on the HSRP-configured interface.

• CSCub33470

Symptoms: Default profiles showing up as custom.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with a Cisco Catalyst 3000/Catalyst 4000 platform which supports the IP SLA video operation. This issue has no affect on the operation itself.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCub34595

Symptoms: Enabling Dynamic ARP Resolution (DAI) on a VLAN may cause ARP resolution to fail for hosts in other VLANs.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when enabling DAI on a VLAN.

Workaround 1: Enable DAI for the failing VLAN using the ip arp inspection vlan x command.

For example:

ip arp inspection vlan 30 int gi 0/10 ip arp inspection trust int gi 0/11 ip arp inspection trust

Workaround 2: Enable DAI for the failing VLAN using the ip arp inspection vlan x command. Configure an ARP ACL to permit traffic for a valid IP source + MAC source pair using the arp access- list acl_name command. Configure the DAI filter and associate with the ARP ACL using the ip arp inspection filter acl_name vlan x command. Configure the DAI trust on the egress port using the ip arp inspection trust.

For example:

ip arp inspection vlan 20 arp access-list testacl permit ip 10.1.1.3 255.255.255.0 mac 01:00:00:0E:0E:0F ip arp inspection filter testacl vlan 20 int gig0/10 ip arp inspection trust

• CSCub34756

Symptoms: RP crash is observed at rrr_lm_resource_link_ready after performing SSO on the midpoint router on protect LSP.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when an RP card hosting the TP tunnel midpoint is undergoing the SSO operation. During SSO recovery, the TP fails to recover the TP tunnel midpoint interface (virtual) that is causing it to send a NULL interface to TE for checking its readiness. TE is not checking the NULL pointer condition and accessing the link elements that are causing the crash.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCub36356

Symptoms: Scaling up routes result in huge memory allocations, eventually depleting the SP memory, leading to MALLOC FAIL and subsequent system crash.

Conditions: This symptom occurs on a Cisco 7600 with RSP720. It is specific to a driver used only by the RSP720. Other supervisor models are not affected. The issue is only seen in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(03)S and later releases, because of a code change made to the RSP720 driver.

Workaround: Isolate and stop the traffic being punted to the RP.

• CSCub79035

Symptoms: Multicast traffic will get route cached on the receiver/decap node resulting in traffic drop and slight increase in RP/SP CPU.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when multicast traffic flowing over GRE tunnel protected with IPsec and PIM is enabled on the GRE tunnel.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCub79590

Symptoms: The match user-group commands do not appear in the running configuration after being configured.

Configure an inspection type class-map:

class-map type inspect TEST match protocol tcp match user-group cisco

Save the configuration. Try to view the configuration in the running configuration:

hostname# show run class-mapbuilding configuration...

Current configuration : 66 bytes!class-map type inspect match-all TEST match protocol tcpend

But, view the configuration directly in the class-map:

hostname# show class-map type inspect Class Map type inspect match-all TEST (id 1) Match protocol tcp Match user-group cisco

The configuration never shows up in the running configuration, but it is in the class-map configuration. As a note, the functionality exists on the ZBFW, but the configuration does not show up in the running configuration.

Conditions: This symptom is only observed with the match user-group commands.

Workaround: This issue only affects devices after a reload as the router will read the startup configuration, which will not have the match user-group command. As a result, the match user-group commands need to be reentered after ever reload.

Dead interval is calculated according to network type; in this case, it is 120s. Issue the no ospfv3 dead-intervalcommand on dead interval. Dead interval is set to the default of 40s instead of 120s, which is correct for manet or P2MP interface types.

Conditions: This symptom is an OSPFv3-specific issue (see the configuration example).

Workaround: Configure dead interval explicitly or reapply the network command.

• CSCub80710

Symptoms: SSL handshake between Cisco VCS and the Cisco ASR fails if the Cisco ASR is running Cisco IOS XE Release 3.7S.

Conditions: This symptom occurs in a working setup, if the Cisco ASR is upgraded to Cisco IOS XE Release 3.7S, then SSL handshake and subsequently SIP-TLS calls start to fail. If in the same setup, the Cisco ASR is downgraded back to Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S or Cisco IOS XE Release 3.4.4S, then the calls work (without requiring any additional changes).

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCub82471

Workaround: Shut/no shut on the tunnel protected with IPsec resolves the issue.

• CSCub88742

Symptoms: A crash occurs due to NULL pointer access in a BGP C-Route function.

Conditions: This symptom is very timing-sensitive and occurs only in a specific sequence of runtime events at a specific timing instance. In this case, it is triggered on a scaled setup when “mpls mldp” is toggled after two SSOs and when each SSO takes a very long time to complete due to HA Bulk Sync failure in IP Multicast that has addresses separately.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCub89711

Symptoms: The atm keyword for the show command disappears.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when you do a powered shutdown of the SPA card and bring it back up using the no form the previous command.

• CSCuc52506

Symptoms: 6PE and 6VPE traffic drops on shutting the ECMP link.

Conditions: This symptom occurs after configuring the 6PE/6VPE between UPE-2 and UPE-1 with ECMP paths between both nodes and then shutting the ECMP link.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuc53135

Symptoms: LDP sessions are not established.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a router with more than one LDP adjacency to a neighbor. This issue is seen when the TCP session establishment to that neighbor is delayed, and while it is delayed, the adjacency that is the active adjacency times out (no more UDP packets are received), resulting in the TCP listen socket being deleted and not created.

Workaround: Issue the clear mpls ldp neighbor * command.

• CSCuc71706

Symptoms: Execution of the show run command and other commands such as copy run start and show access-list cause the router to stop for a few minutes before completing.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with Cisco ISR G2 routers. This issue is seen only with IPV6 configured and used.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCuc72244

Symptoms: On the Cisco 7609, both sides running Cisco IOS Release SRE4 SIP-400 with SPA-2X1GE-V2 configured with “negotiation Auto” and changed to “no negotiation auto”. The GE interface of the router is operating in half-duplex mode after falling back. The interface is operating in half-duplex instead of the expected (nonconfigurable) full-duplex.

Conditions: This symptom does not occur under any specific conditions. This issue is observed due to a timing constraint upon updating the duplex state.

The steps to reproduce are as follows:

1. The interface in Router A is configured to “negotiation auto” with no change in duplex state on both sides.

2. The interface in Router B is configured to “negotiation auto” with no change in duplex state on both sides.

3. The interface in Router A is configured to “no negotiation auto”. The duplex state for both interfaces is changed to half-duplex.

4. The interface in Router B is configured to “no negotiation auto”. The interface duplex state for Router B is changed to full-duplex. But, the Router A interface remains in half-duplex.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Conditions: This symptom occurs mainly due to slow response from the client. This can occur because of the below mentioned scenario. Condition that can leads to this:

Client is out of its window, and we expect window adjust message:

1. Foreign reset happens to the connection.

2. Idle timeout.

3. Timer timeout.

4. Other error to the connection.

We failed to handle this kind of error properly and we loop again and again expecting that message will come from the client even though we set the tcp->pid to No_PROCESS.

Workaround: There is no workaround. Use a stable connection and use a noise free fast underlying physical connection between the two devices.

This issue typically occurs over a period of time due to create/delete of subinterfaces. It also occurs if the customer uses the snmp ifmib ifIndex Persist command, which retains ifIndicies assigned to the @~@subinterfaces across router reload.

Workaround: There can be two workarounds where there is no fix present in the Cisco IOS code for this bug.

Workaround 1:

– Enter the show atm vc privileged EXEC command on the same device to obtain a complete list of all the VCs. Or,

– Do the SNMPWALK suffixing the ifIndex of the interface to get the value.

$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c <community> <ip address> 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2 | grep

"4/0.120"

IF-MIB::ifDescr.253 = STRING: ATM4/0.120-atm subif

IF-MIB::ifDescr.254 = STRING: ATM4/0.120-aal5 layer

$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c <community> <ip address> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.66.1.1.1.1.3 |

grep 9.9.66.1.1.1.1.3.254 ===> Got no entry of ifindex here in complete

snmpwalk

$

$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c <community> <ip address> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.66.1.1.1.1.3.254

Doing the SNMPWALK suffixing the ifindex and getting the value can be one workaround. SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.66.1.1.1.1.3.254.200.106 = Counter32: 403633041

Workaround 2:

1. Under configuration mode: no snmp ifmib ifIndex Persist.

2. On all the ATM main interfaces: no snmp ifindex persist.

3. Save the configuration: copy running start.

4. Reload the box: reload. Reapply the persist configurations.

5. Configure in configuration mode: snmp ifmib ifIndex Persist.

6. Under the ATM main interface: snmp ifindex persist.

After this workaround, the problem may reappear over a period of time, but chances are very less.

The workaround/fix which needs to be enabled where the code fix is present in the Cisco IOS code for this bug.

Since this will go over all the possible ifIndicies, it will take more CPU cycles, causing some delay. The below global CLI can be used to enable/disable the fix based on the need.

CLI: snmp-server enable traps atm snmp-walk-serial

Conditions: PPP users receive pool via Radius. The pool is defined on the Cisco 10000 series router to use ODAP. ODAP is receiving the subnets from Radius correctly, and assigns IPs to PPP sessions, but sometimes two users end up having the same IP address.

Workaround: Clear both sessions sharing the same IP.

• CSCtx89615

Symptoms: Classification on the switchport interface will not work on reload of the box.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when reloading the box.

Workaround: Remove the policy-map and apply it back.

• CSCty01237

Symptoms: The router logs show:

<timestamp> %OER_BR-5-NOTICE: Prefix Learning STARTED CMD: ’show run’ <timestamp>

This is followed by the router crashing.

Conditions: This issue is seen under the following conditions:

1. Configure PfR with a learn-list using a prefix-list as a filter and enable learn.

2. Use a configuration tool, script or NMS that periodically executes show run on the MC over HTTP or some other means.

Workaround 1: If you use PfR learn-list feature, do not execute show run periodically.

Workaround 2: If you use a monitoring tool that executes show run periodically, avoid using a learn-list configuration in PfR.

• CSCty07558

Symptoms: DHCPv6 packets are dropped on a Cisco 7600 switch. For example, they are not flooded.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when there is no IPv6 address on an SVI or if l2 VLAN has SVI in shut state (default existence after a new ACL feature).

Workaround: Two possible workarounds which essentially serve as the fix due to the limitations they impose:

1. When working with a pure L2 VLAN, remove ttl rate limiter (selected as default rate limiter on Cisco7600, but not on other boxes) using “no mls rate-limit all ttl-failure”.

2. If the design permits and TTL rate limiter is necessary, put a dummy IPv6 address on the SVI or simply configure IPv6 enable on the SVI.

• CSCty12312

Symptoms: Multilink member links move to an up/down state and remain in this condition.

• CSCty79284

Symptoms: Source connected to dual home node is not forwarded to receivers in PIM SSM mode. The issue was due to the PIM joins not reaching the source node.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with dual home node with PIM SSM with traffic source.

Workaround: Add static group to forward the traffic to next hop router.

• CSCty80541

Symptoms: Having EVC BD, with split-horizon group as 0 or 2 as CE-facing, drops the traffic over VPLS core pseudowire (split-horizon enabled).

Conditions: This symptom is observed when CE-facing interface is EVC BD with split-horizon group as 0 or 2. For split-horizon group 1, traffic flows fine. The issue with CE-facing as group 0, cannot be fixed because of hardware limitation.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Conditions: This is seen when two Cisco ME 3600s (me360x-universalk9-mz.152-2.S.bin) are connected together via VPLS. The Cisco ME 3600X-1 is configured with HSRP under VLAN50, and the R1 is able to ping. The R2 and Cisco ME 3600X-2 are not able to ping the VIP (HSRP) address. The R2 and Cisco ME 3600X-2 are able to ping physically the IP address of R1 and the Cisco ME 3600X-1. We do have ARP entry for the VIP address on all routers.

• CSCtz26683

Symptoms: An unsupported “ip verify unicast ...” configuration applied to an interface may still be shown in show running-config after being rejected. Output similar to the following will appear when applying the configuration:

% ip verify configuration not supported on interface Tu100

- verification not supported by hardware

% ip verify configuration not supported on interface Tu100

- verification not supported by hardware

%Restoring the original configuration failed on Tunnel100 - Interface Support

Failure

Conditions: This occurs when there is no prior “ip verify unicast ...” configuration on the interface and when the interface and/or platform do not support the given RPF configuration.

Workaround: In some cases it may be possible to get back to the previous configuration by using a no form of the command. In other cases, it will be necessary to reload the device without saving the configuration, or editing the configuration manually if already saved.

• CSCtz37164

Symptoms: The requests to the RADIUS server are retransmitted even though the session no longer exists, causing unnecessary traffic to RADIUS, and RADIUS getting requests for an invalid session.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the RADIUS server is unreachable and the CPE times out the session.

Workaround: The fix is currently being worked upon. This issue can be seen as per the conditions mentioned above. This issue can be avoided by making sure that the RADIUS server is always reachable.

• CSCtz43626

Symptoms: Minor or major temperature alarms reported in the syslog:

%C7600_ENV-SP-4-MINORTEMPALARM: module 2 aux-1 temperature crossed threshold #1(=60C). It has exceeded normal operating temperature range.

%C7600_ENV-SP-4-MINORTEMPALARM: EARL 2/0 outlet temperature crossed threshold #1(=60C). It has exceeded normal operating temperature range.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on ES+ series line cards of Cisco 7600 series routers. Specifically, reported temperature will be far off from reading of other sensors on the line card.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Further Problem Description: This is en enhancement in temperature reading on ES+ line cards of Cisco 7600 series routers. Reading of any temperature sensor is compared to its adjacent sensors. If the reading deviates too much from adjacent sensors, this reading is ignored. This enhancement is eliminating the single point of failure, by which one faulty sensor can trigger an environmental alarm. Nature of heat dissipation and the number and placement of temperature sensors on ES+ line cards allow for such logic to be introduced.

• CSCtz44989

Symptoms: A EIGRP IPv6 route redistributed to BGP VRF green is not exported to VRF RED. Extranet case is broken for IPv6 redistributed routes.

Conditions: The issue is seen with IPv6 link-local nexthop. When the EIGRP route is redistributed to BGP VRF, it clears the nexthop information (it become 0.0.0.0). Now this route becomes invalid and BGP is not able to export to another VRF.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz48338

Symptoms: A router may crash with setup with configuration of BGP L3VPN VRF to global export, NSR, and large scale, hard clear or link flap.

Conditions: This symptom is seen under the following conditions:

1. BGP L3VPN VRF to global import

2. NSR

3. Large scale

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz50204

Symptoms: A crash is observed on EzVPN Server if VRF configuration under the ISAKMP profile is modified.

Conditions: The crash is observed only if there are active sessions at the time of configuration change.

Workaround: Prior to applying a configuration change, clear the sessions.

• CSCtz58941

Symptoms: The router crashes when users execute the show ip route XXXX command.

Conditions: This symptom is observed during the display of the show ip route XXXX, when the next-hops of “XXXX” networks are removed.

Workaround: The show ip route XXXX command (without “XXXX”) does not have the problem.

• CSCtz61556

Symptoms: ATM local switching segments do not come up after changing encap on both interfaces.

Conditions: This symptom is seen with ATM VC local switching. If the encap on both the ATM VC segments are changed, the segments remain in DOWN state.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz71084

Symptoms: When the prefix from CE is lost, the related route that was advertised as best-external to RR by PE does not get withdrawn. Even though the BGP table gets updated correctly at PE, RIB still has a stale route.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with a topology like shown below, where CE0 and CE1 advertise the same prefixes:

CE0------------------PE0---------------------RR | | | | CE1------------------PE1----------------------|

Best-external is configured at PEs. PE0 prefers the path via PE1 and chooses it as its best path and advertises its eBGP path as the best-external path to RR. RR has two routes to reach the prefix, one via PE0 and the other via PE1. This issue occurs when CE0 loses the route; therefore, PE0 loses its best-external path and it has to withdraw, but this does not happen.

This issue does not occur if the interface between PE0-CE0 is shut from either side. Instead, the following command should be issued to stop CE0 from advertising the prefix: no network x.x.x.x mask y.y.y.y

Even though the trigger has SOO, it is not necessary for the repro. This same issue can be observed by PIC (stale backup path at RIB under the similar scenario), diverse-path, and inter-cluster best-external, and is day 1 issue with all.

Workaround: Hard clear.

• CSCtz83221

Symptoms: Active or standby route processor crashes.

Conditions: This symptom can be seen during the configuration or removal of ATM virtual circuits.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz92606

Symptoms: MFR memberlinks-T1 serial interfaces created under a CHOC12 controller, do not get decoupled from MFR even after the MFR bundle interface is deleted. Once the MFR bundle interface is reconfigured, the memberlinks do not appear under it.

Conditions: This symptom is seen with MFR with memberlinks as T1 serials from CHOC12 sonet controller.

Workaround: Unconfigure and reconfigure the “encap frame-relay MFRx” under each memberlink after reconfiguring the MFR bundle interface.

• CSCtz94902

Symptoms: Memory allocation failure is seen when attaching to SIP-40 using a web browser.

Conditions: This symptom is seen on the line card with a memory allocation failure.

Workaround: Reset the line card.

• CSCtz96504

Symptoms: Some of the backup VCs are down after SSO.

Conditions: This symptom happens only on scale scenario where 500 primary and 500 backup VCs were created.

Workaround: These backup VCs can be brought to SB state by issuing the clear xconnect peerid peerid of the PW vcid vcid command. Although it is not usually recommended, it is the only way to recover.

• CSCua06598

Symptoms: Router may crash with breakpoint exception.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when SNMP polls IPv6 MIB inetCidrRouteEntry and there is a locally-sourced BGP route installed in IPv6 RIB.

Workaround: Disable SNMP IPv6 polling.

• CSCua06629

Symptoms: The sh ipv6 mobile pmipv6 mag global command does not show any output.

Conditions: The symptom is observed only when domain and MAG configurations are present.

Workaround: If MAG configuration is complete (all requisite access interfaces and peers are configured) then this issue will not be seen.

• CSCua07791

Symptoms: A Cisco ISR G2 running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)T or later shows a memory leak in the CCSIP_SPI_CONTRO process.

Conditions: The leak is apparent after 3-4 weeks. The process is CCSIP_SPI_CONTRO.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua07927

Symptoms: MLDP traffic is dropped for local receivers on a bud node.

Conditions: This issue is seen on doing stateful switchover (SSO) on bud node.

Workaround: Using the clear ip mroute vrf vrf name * command for the effected VRFs will resume the MLDP traffic.

• CSCua13418

Symptoms: RP-Announce packets are being replicated across all the tunnel interfaces and the count of replication is equal to the number of tunnel interfaces. For example, if there are 3 tunnel interfaces, then each tunnel should forward 1 RP-Announce packet each minute (with the default timer configured). However, in this case, each tunnel is forwarding 3 RP-Announce packets across each tunnel interface. This issue is not specific to the number of interfaces. It can happen with any number of tunnel interfaces.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when filter-autorp is configured with the ip multicast boundary command. This issue is seen on the Cisco 3725 router too, where the incoming packets are being replicated because of the filter-autorp command.

Workaround: Removing filter-autorp resolves the issue. However, you need to remove the pim and boundary commands first and then reapply the pim and boundary list without the filter-autorp keyword. Also, doing this might lead to redesigning of the topology to meet specific requirements.

int Tun X no ip pim sparse-dense mode no ip multicast boundary XXXXXX filter-autorp

int TuX ip pim sparse-dense mode ip multicast boundary XXXXXX

• CSCua13561

Symptoms: After upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S, users cannot get IP address via PPP IPCP from DHCP pool on a Cisco ASR router. There was no configuration change.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S.

Workaround: Remove the vpdn authen-before-forward command.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua19425

Symptoms: RP crashes at the far end, pointing to Watchdog Process BGP.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when doing an FP reload at the near end. This issue is seen with EBGP sessions with BFD configured between near end and far end routers.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua21166

Symptoms: Unable to form IPSec tunnels due to the following error:

RM-4-TUNNEL_LIMIT: Maximum tunnel limit of 225 reached for Crypto functionality with securityk9 technology package license.

Conditions: Even though the router does not have 225 IPsec SA pairs, error will prevent IPSec from forming. Existing IPSec SAs will not be affected.

Workaround: Reboot to clear out the leaked counter, or install hsec9 which will disable CERM (Crypto Export Restrictions Manager).

PSIRT Evaluation: The Cisco PSIRT has assigned this bug the following CVSS version 2 score. The Base and Temporal CVSS scores as of the time of evaluation are 2.8/2.3: https://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvssCalculator.do?dispatch=1&version=2&vector=AV:N/AC:M/Au:M/C:N/I:N/A:P/E:U/RL:W/RC:C No CVE ID has been assigned to this issue.

Symptoms: Traffic loss is seen in pure BGP NSR peering environment.

Conditions: The symptom is seen on a Cisco router that is running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S, and the BGP peerings to CEs and RR are all NSR enabled.

Workaround: Enable the bgp graceful-restart command for RR peering.

• CSCua28346

Symptoms: A router crashes during second rekey.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with IKEv2 with RSA authentication.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua30053

Symptoms: Authentication is failing for clients after some time because the radius_send_pkt fails, because it complains about the low IOMEM condition.

Conditions: In AAA, minimum IO memory must be 512KB to process the new request. If the memory is less than this, AAA does not process the new authentication request. This is AAA application threshold. This application barriers are not valid in dynamic memory case. Such conditions are removed for NG3K platform.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua31794

Symptoms: After reload with the debug image, framed E1 lines are down.

Conditions: On checking the “show controller SONET”, the default controller framing mode is taken as “crc4”. However before reload the configuration for those E1s were configured as “no-crc4”. Customer configured them on the E1s as “no-crc4” and it started working fine and the “show controller SONET” framing output changed to “no-crc4”. As per running configuration still the configuration is not showing “no-crc4”, as it should show as the default is CRC4. So the current issue is configuring “no-crc4”, it is not showing in running configuration and not saved and after reload it shows again CRC4 and services go down again.

Workaround: Configure E1s as “no-crc4” and they would be working fine, but such changes are not being saved in configuration, so if reload reoccurs all these services go down again.

• CSCua31903

Symptoms: IPv6 traffic is forwarded to wrong VRF when address is the same on both VRFs.

Conditions: This symptom is observed in an IPv6 MPLS VPN network that has PE routers, which have multiple CE routers connected. The CE routers are in different IPv6 VRFs. The CE routers have the same IPv6 address. The PE routers are dual and use dual stack. The problem happens on a 6VPE setup when the CEs share same the IP address.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Conditions: The symptom is observed after applying crypto maps.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua34033

Symptoms: A Cisco ME 3800X hangs after boot.

Conditions: It is possible for an evaluation scaled license to be configured on the router and scaled services license configured. EULA acceptance can be ignored when configuring this. When the Cisco ME 3800X is rebooted, the router needs to program itself differently for a scaled license than a base license, but it cannot do so without the EULA being accepted so the router issues a prompt on the console port. The router will wait here until a user has responded. However, if a user is not on the console port to see this EULA message, they will not know that it is waiting for an EULA response. The router will continue to wait.

This is not seen on purchased licenses as they are not installed unless the EULA is accepted.

Workaround: When using evaluation licenses, accept the EULA upon configuring a license on the router or only reload the router from a connection to the console port after configuring the router to use an evaluation license.

• CSCua34638

Symptoms: A crash is seen on RP2, when the show platform software shell command package command is issued.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua43930

Symptoms: Checksum value parsed from GRE header is not populating causing the GRE tunnel checksum test case to fail.

Conditions: The issue is seen on a Cisco ISR G2.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua45114

Symptoms: Default sessions will not establish when you apply VRF as a service to the default policy. VRF can only be applied to a default session by assigning a VRF on the access-interface. However with dedicated sessions, one cannot apply a VRF on the access-interface and VRF transfer at the same time. If we require VRF transfer on dedicated sessions, we need VRF transfer on lite sessions as well.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when access-side interface is in the default VRF. VRF is applied as a service to the default policy.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua45122

Symptoms: Multicast even log preallocated memory space needs to be conserved on the low-end platform.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with multicast even log.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua45548

Symptoms: Router crashes with show ip sla summary on longevity testing.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with Cisco 2900, 1900, and 3945 routers configured with IPSLA operations. The router which was idle for one day crashes on issuing the command show ip sla summary.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua47570

Symptoms: The show ospfv3 event command can crash the router.

Conditions: Occurs under the following conditions:

– You establish 36k EAPSIM sessions using a RADIUS client on server A.

– You establish 36k roaming sessions using a RADIUS client on server B.

– The roaming sessions have the same caller-station-id but use a different IP address than the EAPSIM sessions.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua60395

Symptoms: When an IPv6 packet is received via EoMPLS pseudowire, the packet is punted to the CPU and sent back on the pseudowire.

Conditions: This has been identified on a Cisco ME3600X with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S1.

Workaround:

Option 1: Configure the xconnect under a interface vlan and configure a (dummy) IP address. Example:

interface vlan XXX

ip address A.B.C.D M.M.M.M

xconnect N.N.NN <vc-id> encapsulation mpls

Option 2: Block IPv6 packets on remote end so that these packets are not sent over pseudowire.

• CSCua64546

Symptoms: In a scaled setup with IPV4 and IPV6 ACL together (not necessarily on the same interface), IPV4 ACLs may stop working if the IPV6 ACL configured later overwrites the IPv4 ACL results and vice versa.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with IPV4 and IPV6 ACLs configured on the box.

Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)SResolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S1

Workaround: There is no perfect workaround. Reconfiguring the IPV4 ACL can recover the functionality but will affect the IPV6 ACL.

Further Problem Description: Only the IPV4 or IPV6 ACL configuration will work.

• CSCua64700

Symptoms: The IPsec tunnel state goes to Up-Idle after 4-5 days of the router being up and running.

Conditions: This symptom is observed if you have low rekey value, as with the rekey, the new SPI gets allocated. This issue is seen with WS-IPSEC-3 and to verify this, check the below counter.

show crypto ace spi

If there is no decrement in the SPI allocated counter and there is a consistent increment in the counter, the chances are high that you will encounter this issue.

Once the value reaches 61439, you will encounter this issue.

MTCVPNK03#sh cry ace spi

SPI in use ........................... 0

Normal SPI allocated ................. 61439

Workaround: There is no workaround. You need to reload the box.

• CSCua67532

Symptoms: IPsec sessions fail to come up.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when Site-Site crypto configuration using crypto map is applied on SVI, and when no ISAKMP profile is configured under that crypto map.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua67795

Symptoms: The router does not transmit Y.1731 Delay Measurement Message (DMM) values using QinQ encapsulation.

Conditions: Occurs with the following configuration:

– An EFP is configured and applied to a bridge-domain.

– The EFP is configured with QinQ encapsulation.

– A Y.1731 Delay Measurement Message (DMM) value is applied.

– The Y.1731 traffic uses a CoS value other than 0.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua67998

Symptoms: System crashes.

Conditions: This symptom occurs after adding or removing a policy-map to a scaled GRE tunnel configuration.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua68243

Symptoms: IGMP and PIM control packets are not reaching RP. As a result, mac-address table for IGMP snooping entries is not populated.

Conditions: This symptom can be seen on a Cisco 7600 series router that is running Cisco IOS where we have IGMP and PIM control packets coming in on an SVI only after the condition where the SVI link state went down and came up again. This does not affect routed ports.

Workaround: Unconfigure and reconfigure the SVI.

• CSCua83609

Symptoms: With 10 VRFs, traffic is forwarded through data and default-mdt address. The PEs are connected in a serial fashion, and total number of PEs is over 200. After the number of PEs becomes more than 50, the CPU usage goes high as a result of both software and hardware switching of mVPN control packets like Data-MDT.

Conditions: This issue has been seen under the following conditions:

– Cisco ME 3600X is running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S but is not release specific.

– Multicast stream can be received on any type of interface (L2/L3).

Traffic is stopped as the CPU hog/crash is seen. Issue can be verified via the following:

“show processes cpu sorted | e 00”

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua84879

Symptoms: Crash at slaVideoOperationPrint_ios.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when IPSLA video operations are configured and show running-config is issued.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua84923

Symptoms: Following a misconfiguration on a two-level hierarchical policy with a user-defied queue-limit on a child policy, the UUT fails to attach the QoS policy on the interface even when corrected queueing features are used.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the following conditions:

1. The issue must have the user-defined queue-limit defined.

2. This error recovery defected is confirmed as a side effect with the c3pl cnh compoent project due to ppcp/cce infrastructure enhancement.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua85837

Symptoms: Depending on the aces in the redirect-list ACL used, only a subnet of the traffic gets redirected based on ports.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the WCCP service has a redirect-list ACL applied which in turn has port-specific aces in them.

Workaround: Remove the L4 operators from the redirect-list ACL.

• CSCua85934

Symptoms: A session provisioning failure is seen in the ISG-SCE interface. The deactivate or disconnect request has the message authenticator wrongly calculated.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the ISG-SCE interface.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua86310

Symptoms: When relay is configured with unnumbered interface, it appears the packet is sent out of the loopback interface (instead of the serial interface) to the server, which does not receive the packet.

Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)SResolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S1

Conditions: The issue happens only when unnumbered loopback address is used on the relay interface which connects to server. If an IPv6 address is used directly on the interface, it works fine.

Workaround: Use numbered interface instead of unnumbered interface.

• CSCua87944

Symptoms: In an IPv6 snooping policy, the keyword “prefix-list” has no effect on control packet. The keyword only affects the binding table recovery. In an “ipv6 nd raguard” policy, the limited-broadcast keyword appears though it is deprecated. It should be hidden and is always on.

Conditions: These symptoms are observed in an IPv6 snooping policy and IPv6 and RA-guard policy.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua88341

Symptoms: Multicast traffic on P2P GRE tunnel will get dropped.

Conditions: This symptom usually happens in scenarios like SSO, which is done after VRF deletion or addition. Here the P2P GRE tunnel will be in the VRF.

Workaround: Do a shut/no shut of the P2P GRE tunnel interface.

• CSCua91104

Symptoms: ISIS adjacency process shows traceback messaging related to managed timer.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when configuring isis network point-to-point on LAN interface with isis bfd or isis ipv6 bfd enabled. The traceback does not happen always. It depends on timing.

Workaround: Disable isis bfd or isis ipv6 bfd before issuing isis network point-to-point command. Restore isis bfd or isis ipv6 bfd configuration on LAN interface.

• CSCua93136

Symptoms: The switch crashes when sending the DHCPv6 packet with “ipv6 snooping” on VLAN configurations.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when sending the DHCPv6 packet with “ipv6 snooping” configured on VLAN configurations.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua94947

• CSCub07382

Symptoms: NHRP cache entry for the spokes gets deleted on NHRP timer expiry even though there is traffic flowing through the spoke to spoke tunnel.

Conditions: This symptom is seen with FlexVPN spoke to spoke setup.

Workaround: Configure the same hold time on both tunnel interface and the virtual-template interface.

• CSCub07673

Symptoms: IPsec session does not come up for spa-ipsec-2g if ws-ipsec3 is also present. “Volume rekey” is disabled on Zamboni.

Conditions: This symptom occurs if we have “volume rekey” disabled on Zamboni.

Workaround: Do not disable the volume rekey on Zamboni.

• CSCub09124

Symptoms: MDT tunnel is down.

Conditions: This symptom is seen in MVPN. If the ip multicast boundary command on non-current RPF interface blocks the MDT group, it may cause MDT tunnel failure.

Workaround: Adding the static join command under PE loopback interface may work around the problem temporarily.

• CSCub10951

Symptoms: At RR, for an inter-cluster BE case, there are missing updates.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the following conditions:

1. The following configuration exists at all RRs that are fully meshed: - bgp additional-paths select best-external - nei x advertise best-external

2. For example, RR5 is the UUT. At UUT, there is:

- Overall best path via RR1.

- Best-external (best-internal) path via PE6 (client of RR5): for example, the path is called “ic_path_rr5”.

- Initially, RR5 advertises “ic_path_rr5” to its nonclient iBGP peers, that is, RR1 and RR3.

3. At PE6, unconfigure the route so that RR5 no longer has any inter-cluster BE path. RR5 sends the withdrawals to RR1 and RR3 correctly.

4. At PE6, reconfigure the route so that RR5 will have “ic_path_rr5” as its “best-external (internal) path”. At this point, even though the BGP table at RR5 gets updated correctly, it does not send the updates to RR1 and RR3. They never relearn the route.

Workaround: Hard/soft clear.

• CSCub15542

Symptoms: Some virtual circuit (VC) information is missing in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) MIB object cAal5VccEntry from the output of the snmpwalk router configuration command. For example, The ATM VCs 4/0.120 exist on the router but are missing in the MIB.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco 7204VXR (NPE-G2) router that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE5 (c7200p-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRE5.bin) image in customer network. The symptom may also occur in other releases.

Workaround:

– Enter the show atm vc privileged EXEC command on the same device to obtain a complete list of all the VCs. Or,

– Do the SNMPWALK suffixing the ifIndex of the interface to get the value. $ snmpwalk -v 2c -c fwwrcmn na-salerno-ar011 .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2 | grep "4/0.120" IF-MIB::ifDescr.253 = STRING: ATM4/0.120-atm subif IF-MIB::ifDescr.254 = STRING: ATM4/0.120-aal5 layer

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty22117

Symptoms: When swapping ip addresses on an ethernet connection between an MWR2941 and a Cisco 7600. OSPF fails to re-establish.

Conditions: Changing the IP address in the Cisco MWR2900 to the neighbors IP address and then changing the neighbors IP address to what was on the MWR causes the MWR to see a duplicate IP address and never allows the svi to participate in OSPF.

Tested changing the IP address in the other equipment first and this works fine. Only when the Cisco MWR2900 is changed first do we see this issue.

Workaround: “Change” the MWR address back to bad address:

– This causes duplicate address. OSPF timers again expire.

– Now change back the MWR address to final IP address. We will not have the duplicate address this time, and the OSPF process completes to FULL.

• CSCty31982

Symptoms: Portchannel is in suspended state, with peer throwing messages that lacp is not enabled on remote node.

Conditions: This symptom occurs on reload.

Conditions: This symptom is seen under the following conditions:

– Have GRE+IPsec tunnels configured with QoS.

– Have IPv4 sVTI tunnels configured with QoS.

– Have IPv6 sVTI tunnels configured.

With all the above tunnels configured, traffic should flow on all the IPv4 IPsec and VTI tunnels and traffic rate should oversubscribe the QoS policy on them.

Workaround: There is now workaround.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz62857

Symptoms: RP crashes with segmentation fault pointing to IP RIB Update process.

Conditions: This problem is seen if you issue the configuration command: no router bgp during the period between when BGP is first configured and when it completes routing protocol initialization and bulk sync to the standby.

Workaround: Wait for BGP initialization and bulk sync to complete before issuing “no router bgp”. How long this takes will vary by platform, configuration, and routing table size. On an Cisco ASR 1004 with an RP2 route processor and a typical configuration and routing table size, this takes no longer than 20 minutes.

Conditions: Occurs with high convergence on Cisco 7600 SUP720 switchover (oir or software cli) in 1 out of 10 readings.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua23570

Symptoms: IS-IS adjacency remains down on the standby RP while it is up on the active RP. If a switchover occurs this may result in an adjacency flap as the Standby transition to Active.

Conditions: Occurs when you apply the multi-topology command under the IPv6 address family and the router receives IPv6 prefixes through IS-IS.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua24676

Symptoms: VRF to global packet’s length are corrupted by -1.

Conditions: Issue is seen when the next-hop in vrf is global and recursive going out labled. Issue is seen from Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S3a onwards and not seen on Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S2.

Workaround: Use next hop interface ip instead of recursive next hop.

• CSCua25943

Symptoms: CPU Hog is seen on the LC with CMFI Background process hogging the CPU.

Conditions: It is observed when more than 10k IPv6 prefixes are pumped into the router.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua26064

Symptoms: IPv6 routes in the global routing table take up different adjacency entries.

Conditions: It is seen when there are 4 core facing tunnels that load balance traffic to these prefixes. “show mls cef ipv6 <prefix> detail” shows the different adjacencies taken by different prefixes.

Workaround: Have a single tunnel on the core facing side, instead of a load balanced path.

• CSCua26981

Symptoms: A Cisco ASR router may crash due to a CPU Watchdog upon invocation of “show ip eigrp neighbor detail.”

CMD: 'sh ip eigrp nei detail'

<snip>

ASR1000-WATCHDOG: Process = Exec

%SCHED-0-WATCHDOG: Scheduler running for a long time, more than the maximum configured (120) secs.

-Traceback= ...

Conditions: The Cisco ASR router must be experiencing rapid changes in EIGRP neighborship, such as during a flap. One way to artificially create this scenario is to mismatch the interface MTU.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua27842

Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1000 router crashes in Firewall code due to NULL l4_info pointer. Day 1 issue.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the Cisco ASR 1000 router acts as the MPLS L3VPN UHP. It crashes because FW/NAT requires the l4_info to be set. To trigger this issue, the following features must be configured:

1. MPLS L3VPN (PE)

Symptoms: Traffic loss is seen in pure BGP nsr peering environment.

Conditions: The symptom is seen on Cisco router with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S, and the bgp peerings to CEs and RR are all NSR enabled.

Workaround: Enable the bgp graceful-restart for RR peering.

• CSCua29001

Symptoms: ANCP truncated line rate is not seen on standby and the policy application will differ from that on active.

Conditions: Occurs when ancp truncate value CLI is enabled and port ups received on BRAS.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua30956

Symptoms: Network is not reachable behind CEs when primary PW fails and secondary PW takes over.

Conditions: Primary PW fails. Secondary takes over but network behind CEs are not reachable.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua30963

Symptoms: DHCP client is not getting a response for DHCPREQUEST message.

Conditions: DHCP server did not send an ACK to the DHCPREQUEST sent by the client.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua31794

Symptoms: After reload with the debug image, framed E1 lines are down.

Conditions: On checking the “show controller SONET”, the default controller framing mode is taken as “crc4”. However before reload the configuration for those E1s were configured as “no-crc4”. Customer configured them on the E1s as “no-crc4” and it started working fine and the “show controller SONET” framing output changed to “no-crc4”. As per running configuration still the configuration is not showing “no-crc4”, as it should show as the default is CRC4. So the current issue is configuring “No-crc4”, it is not showing in running configuration and not saved and after reload it shows again CRC4 and services go down again.

Workaround: Configure E1s as “no-crc4” and they would be working fine, but such changes are not being saved in configuration, so if reload reoccurs all these services go down again.

• CSCua31934

Symptoms: Crash seen at __be_address_is_unspecified.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with the following conditions:

1. It occurs one out of three times, and it is a timing issue.

2. DMVPN tunnel setup between Cisco 2901 as spoke and Cisco ASR 1000 as hub.

3. Pass IPv4 and IPv6 traffic between the hub and the spoke for 5-10 minutes.

4. It can occur with v6 traffic alone.

5. If you remove the tunnel interface on the ASR and add it again using conf replace nvram:startup-config the crash will occur.

Workaround: Use CLI to change configuration instead of the rollback feature.

• CSCua33287

Symptoms: ES+: L2TPv3 entries are programmed incorrectly after restart.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when some L2TPv3 sessions are established on ES+ module. After the restart of ES+, some np entries may not program correctly. As the result, ES+ will stop to transmit packets.

This condition will recover after executing shut/no shut on physical interfaces.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua33527

Symptoms: Traceback seen after second or third switchover:

%LFD-SW2-3-SMBADEVENT: Unexpected event CO_WAIT_TIMEOUT for state RUNNING -Traceback= 7908E9Cz 7909848z 79099CCz 7909B9Cz 78DBF20z 523292Cz 522C1D4z

Conditions: The symptom is observed with a quad-sup scenario/setup. This traceback is seen on the new active RP after second switchover onwards.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua34033

Symptoms: Cisco ME 3800x hangs after boot.

Conditions: It is possible for an Evaluation Scaled license to be configured on the router and scaled services license configured. EULA acceptance can be ignored when configuring this. When the Cisco ME 3800x is rebooted, the router needs to program itself differently for a scaled license than a base license but it cannot do so without the EULA being accepted so the router issues a prompt on the console port. The router will wait here until a user has responded. However, if a user is not on the console port to see this EULA message, they will not know that it is waiting for an EULA response and so the router will continue to wait.

This is not seen on purchased licenses as they are not installed unless the EULA is accepted.

Workaround: When using evaluation licenses, accept the EULA upon configuring a license on the router or only reload the router from a connection to the console port after configuring the router to use an evaluation license.

• CSCua37333

Symptoms: The router displays an EIGRP Active Route in the routing table.

Conditions: Occurs on the Cisco ASR 1000 with Cisco IOS Releases 15.1(3)S2 and 15.1(3)S3.

• CSCua42860

Symptoms: The standby SUP module displays an “in progress to standby cold-bulk” message and crashes.

Conditions: Occurs when you an perform an archive configuration.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua43930

Symptoms: Checksum value parsed from GRE header is not populating causing the GRE tunnel checksum test case to fail.

Conditions: The issue is seen on a Cisco ISR G2.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua45114

Symptoms: Default sessions will not establish when you apply VRF as a service to the default policy. VRF can only be applied to a default session by assigning a VRF on the access-interface. However with dedicated sessions, one cannot apply a VRF on the access-interface and VRF transfer at the same time. Thus if we require VRF transfer on dedicated sessions, we need VRF transfer on lite sessions as well.

Conditions: Access-side interface is in the default VRF, VRF is applied as a service to the default policy.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua46210

Symptoms: Packets are not decrypted for specific ezvpn client and ping fails.

Conditions: Occurs while sending traffic, only first 50 ezvpn clients are reachable.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua60395

Symptoms: When a IPv6 packet is received via EoMPLS pseudowire, the packet is punted to the CPU and sent pack on the pseudowire.

Conditions: This has been identified on a Cisco ME3600x with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S1.

Workaround:

Option 1: Configure the xconnect under a interface vlan and configure a (dummy) IP address. Example: interface vlan XXX ip address A.B.C.D M.M.M.M xconnect N.N.NN <vc-id> encapsulation mpls

Option 2: Block IPv6 packets on remote end, so that these packets are not send over pseudowire.

• CSCua61201

• CSCua64546

Symptoms: In scaled setup with IPV4 and IPV6 ACL together (not necessarily on same interface), IPV4 ACLs may stop working if IPV6 ACL configured later overwrites the ipv4 acl results and vice versa.

Conditions: Occurs when IPV4 and IPV6 ACLs are configured on the box.

Workaround: Not perfect workaround, reconfiguring the IPV4 ACL can recover the functionality but will affect the IPV6 ACL.

Further Problem Description: Only IPV4 or IPV6 ACL configuration will work.

• CSCua64676

Symptoms: MVPNv4 traffic is not flowing properly from remote PE to UUT.

• CSCtw55424

Symptoms: SSH with “vrf” in command line for IPv6 addr/host is not working. For example: ssh -l username -vrf vrfname ipv6 add/host.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when ip ssh source-interface is not defined and the user specifies the VRF by command line (e.g.: ssh -l username -vrf vrfname ipv6 add/host).

Workaround: Use ip ssh source-interface interface-name and connect with ssh -l username (IPv4/IPv6)(addr/host).

• CSCtw62310

Symptoms: The cells keyword is added to “random-detect” whenever a policy-map is removed from an interface/map-class via “no service- policy”.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when removing the policy-map from map-class.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Further Problem Description: The CLI is technically valid if it has been manually configured as “cells” prior to the removal. The issue is that the template policy is being changed automatically to “cells” whenever the removal happens, regardless of what the original configuration was, and that is not the expected behavior.

• CSCtw70298

Symptoms: A router crashes after the router boots up with scaled configuration and L2/L3 Distributed EtherChannel (DEC) or port-channel.

Conditions: This symptom occurs only if there are more than two or more DFCs (ES+ and other equivalents) and with L2/L3 DEC configured such that one of the DFCs takes much longer to come up than the other.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtw73530

Symptoms: Unable to delete metadata sessions.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when more than 100 metadata sessions are created.

Workaround: Disable metadata and then enable it. Note that this will remove all the flows.

• CSCtw79171

Symptoms: Platform asserts at adjmgr_l2_create.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with excessive flapping of a link.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx05726

Symptoms: When creating a bulk number of traffic engineering tunnel interfaces on the router with option tunnel mpls traffic-eng exp-bundle master, the standby route processor crashes.

Conditions: This symptom is seen with a specific set of configurations which has creation of a large number of tunnel interfaces (scale number 1000) followed by creation of large number of master tunnels (scale number 1000). Copying such a configuration to the router causes this crash on the standby processor.

The tunnel interfaces which are created at the beginning of the configuration are added as members to the master tunnels in the later part of the configuration. During this phase of creation of the master tunnels and adding member tunnels, these tunnel interfaces go through a cycle of “create-delete-create”. When such a configuration is being synced to the standby route processor along with the resulting create-delete events, the standby processor crashes.

This point where crash happens is random and can happen during configuration of any of the master tunnels.

Workaround: There is no workaround. Once the standby reboots after the crash, the configurations on the active are synced to the standby and this sync does not cause any crash. Crash is only during the initial copy of the configurations to the router.

• CSCtx06813

Symptoms: Installation fails, “rwid type l2ckt” error messages appear, and the VC may fail to come up on Quad-Sup router only. Though this error may appear for multiple other reasons, this bug is specific to Cisco Catalyst 6000 Quad-Sup SSO only.

Conditions: The symptom is observed in a scaled scenario, doing second switchover on Quad-Sup router.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

This failure can cause the SPA to go to one of the following states:

– none

– standby reset

– down

This failure leads to unexpected system reload.

Conditions: This symptom is observed during router reload for 15-20 times.

Workaround: Ensure that all of the library shared objects are loaded at the time of the SPA initialization.

• CSCtx32527

Symptoms: The show crypto session command reveals the flexVPN GRE tunnel is in a DOWN state instead of DOWN-negotiating.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with “ip address negotiated” configured on the GRE tunnel interface (with tunnel protection). The tunnel is unable to reach the gateway initially.

Workaround: Configure an IP address on the tunnel interface instead of “ip address negotiated”.

• CSCtx35064

Symptoms: Traffic remains on blackholed path until holddown timer expires for PfR monitored traffic class. Unreachables are seen on path, but no reroute occurs until holddown expires.

Conditions: This symptom is seen under the following conditions:

– MC reroutes traffic-class out a particular path (BR/external interface) due to OOP condition on the primary path.

– Shortly after enforcement occurs, an impairment on the new primary path occurs causing blackhole.

– PfR MC does not declare OOP on the new primary path and attempt to find a new path until Holddown timer expires. Causes traffic loss.

Workaround: Reduce the holddown timer to 90 seconds (minimum value) to minimize impact.

• CSCtx36095

Symptoms: A traceback is seen after applying DMLP configurations while doing a line card reload.

Conditions: This symptom occurs during a line card reload.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx38121

Symptoms: IPv6 traffic is not passing through the interface attached with service policy matching IPv6 traffic using IPv6 ACL.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when attaching a service policy matching IPv6 traffic that is configured using ipv6 access-list on EFP of an interface, which will lead to a traffic drop.

Workaround: Before removing the address, remove the network statement which covers he address of the loopback interface.

• CSCtx67474

Symptoms: Update message is sent with an empty NLRI when the message consists of 2byte aspath in ASPATH attribute and 4byte value aggregate attribute.

Conditions: This can happen when there is a mix of 2byte and 4byte attributes in the update message and the message is sent from a 2byte peer and there is a 4byte aggregator attribute.

Workaround: Move all the 2byte AS peers to a separate update-group using a non-impacting outbound policy like “advertisement-interval”.

• CSCtx73612

Symptoms: A Cisco ASR 1000 may reload while reading IPsec MIBs via SNMP and write a crashfile.

• CSCty03745

Symptoms: BGP sends an update using the incorrect next-hop for the L2VPN VPLS address-family, when the IPv4 default route is used, or an IPv4 route to certain destination exists. Specifically, a route to 0.x.x.x exists. For this condition to occur, the next-hop of that default route or certain IGP/static route is used to send a BGP update for the L2VPN VPLS address-family.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the IPv4 default route exists, that is:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <next-hop>.

Or a certain static/IGP route exists: For example:

ip route 0.0.253.0 255.255.255.0 <next-hop>.

Workaround 1: Configure next-hop-self for BGP neighbors under the L2VPN VPLS address-family. address-family. For example:

router bgp 65000

address-family l2vpn vpls

neighbor 10.10.10.10 next-hop-self

Workaround 2: Remove the default route or the static/IGP route from the IPv4 routing table.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with L2VPN (Xconnect with MPLS encapsulation) functionality on a Cisco 1941 router (acting as edge) running Cisco IOS interim Release 15.2(3.3)T. This is observed when a router is reloaded with the L2VPN configurations.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty73817

Symptoms: In large-scale PPPoE sessions with QoS, the Standby RP might reboot continuously (until the workaround is applied) after switchover. This issue is seen when the QoS Policy Accounting feature is used. When the issue occurs, the Active RP remains operational and the Standby RP reboots with the following message:

%PLATFORM-6-EVENT_LOG: 43 3145575308: *Mar 16 13:47:23.482: %QOS-6-RELOAD: Index addition failed, reloading self

Conditions: This symptom occurs when all the following conditions are met:

1. There is a large amount of sessions.

2. The QoS Policy Accounting feature is used.

3. Switchover is done.

Workaround: Bring down sessions before switchover. For example, shut down the physical interfaces that the sessions go through, or issue the Cisco IOS command clear pppoe all.

• CSCty76106

Symptoms: Crash is seen after two days of soaking with traffic.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with node acting as ConPE with multiple services like REP, MST, L3VPN, L2VPN, constant frequent polling of SNMP, RCMD, full scale of routes and bidirectional traffic.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty78435

Symptoms: L3VPN prefixes that need to recurse to a GRE tunnel using an inbound route-map cannot be selectively recursed using route-map policies. All prefixes NH recurse to a GRE tunnel configured in an encapsulation profile.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when an inbound route-map is used to recurse L3VPN NH to a GRE tunnel. Prefixes are received as part of the same update message and no other inbound policy change is done.

Workaround: Configure additional inbound policy changes such as a community change and remove it prior to sending it out.

• CSCty80553

Symptoms: Multicast router crashes.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when multicast traffic is routed through an IPsec tunnel and multicast packets are big causing fragmentation.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when core interface flap or remote PE node reloads causing a small amount of memory leak. If the node stays up experiencing a lot of core interface/remote PE outages, it can run out of memory and fail to establish PIM neighborship with remote PEs.

Workaround: There is no workaround. As a proactive measure, user can periodically (depending on n/w outages) run the show memory debug leak chunk command and reload the node, if there are a lot of memory leaks reported by this command.

• CSCty83357

Symptoms: ACL denied packets are getting punted to host queue, leading to flaps in routing protocols.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when ACL is configured with src IP match, and packets are being denied by the ACL. The packets are punted to the CPU.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty83520

Symptoms: IP Phone -- CUCM --- H323 -- 3845 - PSTN:

1. A call is originated from the IP phone to a PSTN number and it gets connected.

2. The IP phone puts the call on hold.

3. The CUCM instructs GW to listen to the Multicast MoH stream.

4. The Cisco IOS Gateway sends the RTCP packet to Multicast MoH.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the H.323 Gateway is configured and the Multicast MoH and MoH stream is sent across an IP Multicast network.

Workaround 1: Disable the H.323 Multicast MoH functionality in Cisco IOS.

Workaround 2: Use Unicast MoH.

• CSCty91955

Symptoms: L2-switched traffic loss within a BridgeDomain routed traffic via an SVI experiences no loss.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with BridgeDomain that has both tagged and untagged EVCs. Issue should not happen with like-to-like scenario.

Workaround: Make sure there is like-to-like (tagged-to-tagged or untagged-to- untagged) communication.

• CSCty94289

Symptoms: The drop rate is nearly 1 Mbps with priority configuration.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when traffic received in the MSFC router class-default is the same as on the other end of the MSFC2 router.

Workaround: Unconfigure the priority and configure the bandwidth, and then check for the offered rate in both the routers. This issue is only seen with the Cisco 7600 series routers (since the issue is with the Flexwan line cards). The issue is seen with a priority configuration and does not show up when the priority is unconfigured, so there is no workaround as such for this issue otherwise.

• CSCty96049

Cisco IOS Software contains a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a single DHCP packet to or through an affected device, causing the device to reload.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. A workaround that mitigates this vulnerability is available. This advisory is available at the following link:

http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20120926-dhcp

• CSCty96052

Symptoms: A Cisco router may unexpectedly reload due to Bus error or SegV exception when the BGP scanner process runs. The BGP scanner process walks the BGP table to update any data structures and walks the routing table for route redistribution purposes.

Conditions: It is an extreme corner case/timing issue. Has been observed only once on release image.

Workaround: Disabling NHT will prevent the issue, but it is not recommended.

• CSCty96579

Symptoms: Under periods of transient interface congestion, an MPLS-TP network may experience unnecessary traffic switchovers or longer than expected restoration times.

Conditions: This symptom is observed during periods of transient interface congestion. Behavior will be caused by loss of vital OAM packets (e.g. AIS/LDI, LKR). Lack of a classification mechanism for these packets prevents from protecting them with a QoS policy.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty97784

Symptoms: The router crashes.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when NBAR is enabled, that is, “match protocol” actions in the QoS configuration, or “ip nbar protocol-discovery” on an interface or NAT is enabled and “ip nat service nbar” has not been disabled.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz04090

Symptoms: In a VRRP/HSRP setup, traffic from particular hosts is getting dropped. Ping from the host to any device through the VRRP routers fails.

Conditions: This symptom is usually seen after a VRRP/HSRP switchover. The packet drops because of some packet loop that is created between the routers running VRRP/HSRP.

Workaround: A clear of the MAC table on the new VRRP master usually restores the setup to working conditions.

• CSCtz06611

Symptoms: IPSec tunnel states are UP-IDLE because of broadcast packets that are punted to the CPU. The mac-address of VPN-SPA is not learned properly.

Conditions: This symptom is a timing issue. You may see it first time or need to try multiple times. This symptom is seen with crypto map plus vrf configuration.

1. Reload the router with above configuration: the mac-address changes to all FF.

2. Default the configuration of VLAN (where crypto map and engine is applied), then configure it again with old configuration. Now the mac-address will show all FF.

3. Create the vlan. Do a no shutdown. Attach vrf. Then add crypto map to it.

Workarounds: For the steps mentioned in condition section above, below are the workarounds respectively.

Workaround 1: Remove and add “ip vrf forwarding” and then remove and add the crypto engine command.

Workaround 2: Remove and add the crypto engine command.

Workaround 3: Do a shut/no shut on the VLAN interface.

• CSCtj93356

Symptoms: Batch suspending from platform causes the MFIB on the line card to go into reloading state.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when MFIB on the line card goes into reloading state and then finally to purge state after removal/addition of MVRFs is done followed by a line card reset.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtr42806

Symptoms: The following error message can be seen sometimes, when standby or a line card is coming UP:

%TID_HA-3-ISSU_ERR: TABLEID-ISSU-RP: FAILED: Negotiation start: ISSU_RC_CLIENT_ENTITY_DOES_NOT_EXIST_IN_PEER

• CSCts55778

Symptoms: This is a problem involving two SAF forwarders, where one is running EIGRP rel8/Service-Routing rel1 and the other is running EIGRP dev9/Service-Routing dev2. The capabilities-manager, a client of the service-routing infrastructure, will advertise two services. When forwarders are peering with the same release image, the services propagate between the forwarders without any problems. But, when you run rel8/rel1 on one forwarder, and dev9/dev2 on the other forwarder, a third service appears in the topology table and the SR database that was not advertised. Note: The problem cannot be recreated if both forwarders are running an Cisco IOS XE Release 3.4S or and Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S image.

Conditions: This symptom occurs if two SAF forwarders peer with each other, where one SAF forwarder is running EIGRP SAF rel9 or above and the other SAF forwarder is running EIGRP SAF rel8 or below.

Workaround: Make sure each SAF forwarder is running EIGRP rel8 or below, or rel9 or above.

• CSCtt26692

Symptoms: The router crashes due to memory corruption. In the crashinfo, you may see:

%SYS-2-CHUNKBADMAGIC: Bad magic number in chunk header, chunk xxxxxxx data xxxxxxxx chunkmagic xxxxxxxx chunk_freemagic EF4321CD - Process= "CCSIP_SPI_CONTROL", ipl= 0, pid= 374 chunk_diagnose, code = 1 chunk name is MallocLite

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the router is configured for SIP. When a translation-rule is configured to translate a number to one with more digits, the router may crash when the translation takes effect, such as when a call is forwarded.

Workaround: Configuring “no memory lite” configurations can be used as a workaround in some cases (depending on the length of the phone numbers), but will cause the router to use more memory. If the translation-profile is configured to translate forwarded calls, then avoid or disable the option to forward the call.

• CSCtt34646

Symptoms: IOMd crashes on the HA system.

Conditions: This symptom occurs during normal reload, sometimes when standby shuts down completely and before coming up.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtw70298

Symptoms: A router crashes after the router boots up with scaled configuration and L2/L3 Distributed EtherChannel (DEC) or port-channel.

Conditions: This symptom occurs only if there are more than two or more DFCs (ES+ and other equivalents) and with L2/L3 DEC configured such that one of the DFCs takes much longer to come up than the other.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtw98200

Symptoms: Sessions do not come up while configuring RIP commands that affect the virtual-template interface.

Conditions: This symptom is observed if a Cisco ASR1000 series router is configured as LNS.

RIP is configured with the timers basic 5 20 20 25 command. Also, every interface matching the network statements is automatically configured using the ip rip advertise 5 command. These interfaces include the loopback and virtual-template interfaces too.

On a Cisco ASR1000 series router, this configuration causes the creation of full VAIs which are not supported. Hence, the sessions do not come up. On Cisco ISR 7200 routers, VA subinterfaces can be created.

Workaround: Unconfigure the timers rip command.

• CSCtx06813

Symptoms: Installation fails, “rwid type l2ckt” error messages appear, and the VC may fail to come up on Quad-Sup router only. Though this error may appear for multiple other reasons, this bug is specific to Cisco Catalyst 6000 Quad-Sup SSO only.

• CSCtx66011

A vulnerability in the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol of Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a memory leak that could lead to a device reload.

The vulnerability is due to incorrect handling of malformed IKE packets by the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted IKE packets to a device configured with features that leverage IKE version 1 (IKEv1).

Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)SResolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S2

Although IKEv1 is automatically enabled on a Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software when IKEv1 or IKE version 2 (IKEv2) is configured, the vulnerability can be triggered only by sending a malformed IKEv1 packet.

In specific conditions, normal IKEv1 packets can also cause an affected release of Cisco IOS Software to leak memory.

Only IKEv1 is affected by this vulnerability.

An exploit could cause Cisco IOS Software not to release allocated memory, causing a memory leak. A sustained attack may result in a device reload.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds to mitigate this vulnerability.

Workaround 2: If you use a monitoring tool that executes show run periodically, avoid using a learn-list configuration in PfR.

• CSCty03745

Symptoms: BGP sends an update using the incorrect next-hop for the L2VPN VPLS address-family, when the IPv4 default route is used, or an IPv4 route to certain destination exists. Specifically, a route to 0.x.x.x exists. For this condition to occur, the next-hop of that default route or certain IGP/static route is used to send a BGP update for the L2VPN VPLS address-family.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the IPv4 default route exists, that is:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <next-hop>.

Or a certain static/IGP route exists: For example:

ip route 0.0.253.0 255.255.255.0 <next-hop>.

• CSCty55449

Symptoms: The device crashes after registering an Embedded Event Manager TCL policy.

Conditions: If the policy uses the multiple event feature and the trigger portion is registered without curly braces (“{}”), then the device will crash. For example, this policy will trigger a crash:

::cisco::eem::event_register_syslog tag 1 pattern " pattern1" ::cisco::eem::event_register_syslog tag 2 pattern " pattern2" ::cisco::eem::trigger ::cisco::eem::correlate event 1 or event 2

namespace import ::cisco::eem::* namespace import ::cisco::lib::*

action_syslog priority crit msg " triggered "

Note how “::cisco::eem::trigger” is not followed by an opening curly brace.

Workaround: Ensure that the trigger portion (that is, the correlate statement) is enclosed within curly braces. Given the example above, the proper syntax is:

::cisco::eem::event_register_syslog tag 1 pattern " pattern1" ::cisco::eem::event_register_syslog tag 2 pattern " pattern2" ::cisco::eem::trigger {

::cisco::eem::correlate event 1 or event 2}

Conditions: This symptom is observed as currently, there are two SDM templates present in the Cisco ME 3600X and ME 3800X switches. Both templates do not support MVPN. A new SDM template is needed on the license “AdvancedMetroIPAccess” to support the MVPN.

Workaround: MVPN cannot be used without the new SDM template.

• CSCtz06611

Symptoms: IPsec tunnel states are UP-IDLE because of broadcast packets that are punted to the CPU. The mac-address of VPN-SPA is not learned properly.

Conditions: This symptom is a timing issue. You may see it the first time or need to try multiple times. This symptom is seen with the crypto map plus vrf configuration.

1. Reload the router with above configuration: the mac-address changes to all FF.

2. Default the configuration of VLAN (where crypto map and engine is applied), then configure it again with old configuration. Now the mac-address will show all FF. 3. Create the vlan. Do a no shutdown. Attach vrf. Then add crypto map to it.

Workarounds: For the steps mentioned in condition section above, below are the workarounds respectively.

Workaround 1: Remove and add “ip vrf forwarding” and then remove and add the crypto engine command.

Workaround 2: Remove and add the crypto engine command. Workaround 3: Do a shut/no shut on the VLAN interface.

Workaround: Shorten the ISAKMP profile name to less than 31.

• CSCtz79488

Symptoms: Multicast replication fails for some of the EFPs post removal/recreation of BDIs.

Conditions: This symptom is observed under the following conditions:

1. There are 255 EVCs on a single port, attached to 255 BDIS (1:1).

2. Configure the policy map on each EVC.

3. Initiate Multicast data traffic to a single Multicast group.

4. Remove some of the BDIS and recreate with Multicast data traffic on. Replication fails post recreation of BDIS.

Workaround: Perform shut/no shut on the 255 EVCs configured interface.

• CSCtz80643

Symptoms: A PPPoE client’s host address is installed in the LNS’s VRF routing table with the ip vrf receive vrf name command supplied either via RADIUS or in a Virtual-Template, but is not installed by CEF as attached. It is instead installed by CEF as receive, which is incorrect.

Conditions: This symptom is observed only when the Virtual-access interface is configured with the ip vrf receive vrf name command via the Virtual-Template or RADIUS profile.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz82232

Symptoms: The following error message is displayed:

IOSXE_INFRA-6-PROCPATH_CLIENT_HOG: on reload, traffic fails post Reload

Conditions: This symptom is observed under the following conditions:

- Multicast data traffic to a single Multicast group with 255 OIFs. - 255 EVCs on single port with a policy map on each EVC. - All 255 BDIS send IGMPv3 SSM joins to a single Multicast group. - Reload the box and observe the Hog messages.

Symptoms: Datapath session would

Conditions: This symptom is observed when SGSN sends echo req before PDP_CREATE_REQ.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz85907

Symptoms: A Cisco 7600 should have an MVPNv4 configuration and the system replication mode as egress. Now, if “address-family ipv6” is configured under the VRF definition, MVPN traffic might be affected.

Conditions: SREx and RLSx releases.

Workaround: Use ingress replication.

• CSCtz86024

Symptoms: There is a long delay in joining mcast stream with Cisco IOS 15S releases that are running on RP.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when there is no (*,G) on the box, and the first packet for the stream creates this entry.

Workaround: With static joins we can make sure that entry is present in mroute table.

• CSCtz86763

Symptoms: Sessions remain partially created, and memory is consumed and not returned.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when sessions are churned and reset before they reach active state.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz89485

Symptoms: NAT traffic passes through the new standby router following HSRP switchover.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with HA NAT (NAT with HSRP) mappings with inside global addresses that overlap a subnet owned by a router interface.

Workaround:

1. Force a HSRP switchover so that the initial standby router takes activity.

2. Remove and readd HSRP NAT mappings on the newly active router.

3. Force a HSRP swtichover back to the initial active router.

• CSCtz90154

Symptoms: Rapid getVPN re-registration by GM when IPsec failure occurs during initial registration. Multiple ISAKMP SAs created and deleted per second.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco ASR 1000 router that is running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S or Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S2 as a GM.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz93922

Symptoms: An xconnect virtual circuit may be down on one peer while it is up on the remote peer. The output of the show mpls l2 transport vc detailed command indicates that it is in the LruRrd state and that the last status it received from the remote peer is pw-tx-fault.

Conditions: This symptom has been observed when both the attachment circuit and core-facing interfaces are on the same module and that module is reset using the hw-module module module reset command, and the remote peer is running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(02)S or later releases.

Workaround: Do shutdown followed by no shutdown on the attachment circuit.

• CSCtz95745

Symptoms: BGP PIC core is broken on shutting an ECMP path towards the BGP next-hop. When one ECMP path is shut, traffic drop is seen for 4-5 seconds and full traffic is recovered after some time.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when there are uneven number of paths towards two or more BGP next-hops and one path is shut.

Workaround: Do a shut/no shut on the interface.

• CSCtz97755

Symptoms: ES card crash and alignment tracebacks on SP are seen.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with IPv6 unicast and multicast traffic up and running. Unconfiguring IPv6 unicast-routing will lead to this issue.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz99916

Symptoms: The Cisco 3945 router does not respond to a reinvite from CVP.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when call legs are not handled in a proper IWF container.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptoms: Port-channel member links show as UP when port-channel is admin down.

Conditions: This symptom is only a display issue.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua07228

Symptoms: Locally generated traffic is not encrypted when crypto map is applied to the LISP interface.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when GET VPN or static crypto map is configured on the LISP interface to encrypt traffic between LISP E-IDs.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua08027

Symptoms: Tracebacks appear on a Cisco ASR router when LI is used with SNMP-based TAP. This issue is seen with Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when SNMP-based LI is used with routers running Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S or later releases.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua08471

Symptoms: Traffic may go to a wrong destination post switchover on the Cisco ASR 903 router.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the VPLS over MPLS-TP scenario. This is an extremely rare scenario, and is seen in less than once out of 50 attempts. The hardware entry corresponding to the VC/TP label is wrongly programmed.

Workaround: Reconfigure the affected VC post switchover.

• CSCua10377

Symptoms: A Cisco router with Circuit Emulation SPA may suffer an SPA crash.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the CE T1 circuit is configured by the end user for AT&T FDL, and the end user transmits FDL messages requesting 4- hour or 24-hour performance statistics.

Workaround: There is no workaround. If possible, contact the end user and have them reconfigure their device for ANSI FDL.

• CSCua13418

Symptoms: RP-Announce packets are being replicated across all the tunnel interfaces and the count of replication is equal to the number of tunnel interfaces. For example, if there are 3 tunnel interfaces, then each tunnel should forward 1 RP-Announce packet each minute (with the default timer configured). However, in this case, each tunnel is forwarding 3 RP-Announce packets across each tunnel interface. This issue is not specific to the number of interfaces. It can happen with any number of tunnel interfaces.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when filter-autorp is configured with the ip multicast boundary command. This issue is seen on the Cisco 3725 router too, where the incoming packets are being replicated because of the filter-autorp command.

Workaround: Removing filter-autorp resolves the issue. However, you need to remove the pim and boundary commands first and then reapply the pim and boundary list without the filter-autorp keyword. Also, doing this might lead to redesigning of the topology to meet specific requirements.

int Tun X no ip pim sparse-dense mode no ip multicast boundary XXXXXX filter-autorpint TuX ip pim sparse-dense mode ip multicast boundary XXXXXX

• CSCua16046

Symptoms: Some packets are dropped when multiple streams are merging on the Cisco ME3600X and ME3800X switches. Sometimes, packet drops are seen with a single stream as well.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with smaller size packets such as 64-512 bytes.

Workaround: The workaround depends on the release. With some release, “no ip igmp snooping” will resolve the issue.

• CSCua16786

Symptoms: When a Cisco 7600 router is placed as a mid-hop-router between the first hop router (FHR) and rendezvous point (RP), with P2P GRE tunnel interface as the FHR facing interface, then PIM-registration might not get completed. The unicast PIM-registration packet might get dropped at the Cisco 7600 router.

Conditions: This symptom is seen in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE6 and RLSx releases.

Workaround: Delete and create the FHR facing p2p tunnel interface at Cisco 7600 router, which is acting as mid-hop-rtr.

• CSCua18051

Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 903 router sends duplicated Multicast packets with RPF changes.

Conditions: This symptom is observed under the following conditions:

1. Initially, no costs are configured.

2. Configure OSPF cost to the link to change the RPF path.

3. Post RPF change, the Cisco ASR 903 router egresses duplicated packets.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptoms: RP crashes at the far end, pointing to Watchdog Process BGP.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when doing an FP reload at the near end. This issue is seen with EBGP sessions with BFD configured between near end and far end routers.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua22599

Symptoms: MCB timeout error message is seen on console. Ports 7 and 8 do not come up.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when combo ports come up with media-type.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua22755

Symptoms: The ACL missed blocked ARP reply packets. As a result, the I/F could not learn ARP.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the port has 254 BDI I/F, and those 254 BDI I/F have the same ACL. Some of the VLANs ACL blocked ARP reply.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua23997

Symptoms: Continuous ESP crash is seen after dropping packets due to unsupported OCE.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when OCE is unsupported.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua25671

Symptoms: After adding the source interface in RSPAN, there is huge flooding to all trunks allowing RSPAN VLAN starts, even if there is no traffic on the RSPAN source interface.

Conditions: This symptom is observed under the following conditions:

1. The router has a RSPAN source session.

2. The source interface being added to the RSPAN source session is on ES+.

3. Any of the ES+ modules in the system has an interface on the RSPAN VLAN (that is, at least one of the interfaces on an ES+ module carries RSPAN replicated traffic).

4. The online diagnostic tests, TestFabricCh0Health and TestFabricCh1Health, are enabled on the ES+ module which has 2 and 3 mentioned above.

Workaround 1: Disable the online diagnostic tests, TestFabricCh0Health and TestFabricCh1Health, on the ES+ module which has the RSPAN source.

Workaround 2: If you have to use an interface on the ES+ module as a SPAN source, make sure that no other interface on any of the ES+ modules in the system is in the RSPAN VLAN. If you have to use an interface on the ES+ module to carry RSPAN replicated traffic, make sure that no other interface on any of the ES+ modules in the system is being monitored as an RSPAN source.

• CSCua25748

Symptoms: The PW receive counter does not work.

Conditions: This symptom is observed only with the ES+ card. This issue is not seen always due to timing events.

Workaround: Flap VC again, and check if the counter works. If it does not work, reconfigure the VC.

• CSCua26487

Symptoms: SNMP loops at OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.645.1.2.1.1.1, and as a result, SNMP walk fails.

Conditions: This symptom is observed only on the SNMP getbulk request on 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.645.1.2.1.1.1.

Workaround: Exclude the MIB table from SNMP walk using SNMP view. See the below configurations.

• CSCua27842

Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1000 router crashes in Firewall code due to NULL l4_info pointer. Day 1 issue.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the Cisco ASR 1000 router acts as the MPLS L3VPN UHP. It crashes because FW/NAT requires the l4_info to be set. To trigger this issue, the following features must be configured:

1. MPLS L3VPN (PE).

2. Zone-Based FW/NAT.

3. MPLS & MP-BGP loadbalance configured towards the upstream router.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua30259

Symptoms: EVC egress traffic does not flow. The frames are dropped by Selene.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when SPAN is configured on service instance.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua31794

Symptoms: After reload with the debug image, framed E1 lines are down.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when checking “show controller SONET”. The default controller framing mode is taken as “crc4”. However, before reload, the configuration for those E1s were configured as “no-crc4”. When configured on the E1s as “no-crc4”, it works fine, and the “show controller SONET” framing output changes to “no-crc4”. As per the running configuration, the configuration does not “no-crc4”, as the default is CRC4. When configuring “no-crc4”, it does not show in the running configuration and is not saved. After reload, it again shows CRC4 and services go down again.

Workaround: Configure E1s as “no-crc4” and they will work fine, but such changes are not being saved in the configuration. If reload reoccurs, all these services go down again.

• CSCua33287

Symptoms: ES+: L2TPv3 entries are programmed incorrectly after restart.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when some L2TPv3 sessions are established on ES+ module. After the restart of ES+, some np entries may not program correctly. As the result, ES+ will stop to transmit packets.

This condition will recover after executing shut/no shut on physical interfaces.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua34638

Symptoms: A crash is seen on RP2, when the show platform software shell command package command is issued.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the show platform software shell command package command is issued. It impacts the RP2 (x86_64_*) image only.

Workaround: There is no workaround. Do not issue the show platform software shell command package command.

• CSCua39107

Symptoms: In a FlexVPN Spoke to Spoke setup, Resolution reply goes via the Tunnel interface to the Hub.

Conditions: This symptom is only observed when NHO is added for the V-Access, overriding an existing route. This issue is not seen when H route is added.

Workaround: Distribute the summarized address from the Hub, thus avoiding addition of NHO at the Spokes. The Spokes will then add H route instead of NHO.

• CSCua40790

Symptoms: Memory leaks when SNMP polling cbgpPeer2Entry MIB.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when BGPv4 neighbors are configured.

Workaround: There is no workaround if this MIB is to be polled.

• CSCua42089

Symptoms: Configuring Ingress redirection for service group 61 (Mask) and applying an extended ACL in the outbound direction on the same interface causes software switching even when there are no punt entries in the TCAM.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when WCCP service 61 with Mask assignment in the Ingress indirection, along with an outbound ACL, is configured on the same interface.

Workaround: Do not configure the outbound ACL along with a WCCP service.

• CSCua43930

• CSCua62054

Symptoms: Egress DSCP classification does not work when a policy is applied on the main interface which has trunk EFP configured.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when a DSCP-based service policy is configured on the main interface and it does not classify the traffic for DSCP.

Workaround: Use normal EFP instead of trunk.

• CSCua62102

Symptoms: Traffic is classified based on prec/dscp/tos, along with Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) ACLs in the service policy. This issue is not seen without ACLs.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when you configure policy-map matching prep/dscp/tos with Layer 4 TCP/UDP ACLs in the ingress direction.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua64546

Symptoms: In a scaled setup with IPV4 and IPV6 ACL together (not necessarily on the same interface), IPV4 ACLs may stop working if the IPV6 ACL configured later overwrites the IPv4 ACL results and vice versa.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with IPV4 and IPV6 ACLs configured on the box.

Workaround: There is no perfect workaround. Reconfiguring the IPV4 ACL can recover the functionality but will affect the IPV6 ACL.

Further Problem Description: Only the IPV4 or IPV6 ACL configuration will work.

• CSCua64700

Symptoms: The IPsec tunnel state goes to Up-Idle after 4-5 days of the router being up and running.

Conditions: This symptom is observed if you have low rekey value, as with the rekey, the new SPI gets allocated. This issue is seen with WS-IPSEC-3 and to verify this, check the below counter.

show crypto ace spi

If there is no decrement in the SPI allocated counter and there is a consistent increment in the counter, the chances are high that you will encounter this issue.

Once the value reaches 61439, you will encounter this issue.

MTCVPNK03#sh cry ace spi SPI in use ........................... 0 Normal SPI allocated ................. 61439

Workaround: There is no workaround. You need to reload the box.

• CSCua68398

Workaround 2: Use the static NAT/dynamic NAT configuration.

• CSCua85837

Symptoms: Depending on the aces in the redirect-list ACL used, only a subnet of the traffic gets redirected based on ports.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the WCCP service has a redirect-list ACL applied which in turn has port-specific aces in them.

Workaround: Remove the L4 operators from the redirect-list ACL.

• CSCua85934

This issue may be not seen at all in some customer environments to about once a week in medium-sized high CPS ISG production networks.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCua09073

Symptoms: If 6708 generates txCRC errors, CSCtq73026 accounts for these errors in TestErrorMonitor diagostic test and takes the necessary recovery action. But for CSCtq73026 to be invoked, the TestErrorMonitor test should be included in the test suite for 6708. This test is missing and hence, the fix in CSCtq73026 will also not be invoked.

Conditions: See the description of CSCtq73026. For this fix to be take effect, TestErrorMonitor should be added in the test suite. In this DDTS, we are adding this test so that in case of an error, as mentioned in CSCtq73026, recovery action will be triggered.

• CSCtw51052

Symptoms: HSRP hello packets are dropped on a Cisco ME 3600X switch when there are two Cisco ME 3600X switches acting as switches between the HSRP boxes, and there is a port-channel connecting the two ME 3600 switches with both the Tengig ports as its members. HSRP is configured on VLANs.

Conditions: This symptom is not seen consistently. It is seen only on a few VLANs while the others may be working as expected.

Workaround: Removing and readding the VLANs fixes the issue. Issue the no vlan vlan-id command followed by the vlan vlan-id command. Removing and adding the VLAN from the port-channel and its members may also fix the issue.

• CSCtx54990

Symptoms: The static mac address command disappears randomly on reload on a Cisco ME 3600X switch running the me360x-universalk9-mz.151-2.EY image.

“Active BR” and “Standby BR” are two Cisco ME 3600X switches. The link between the two Cisco ME 3600X switches is an etherchannel (two member ports). Multicast traffic from the “Active WG” and “Standby WG” flow down the path. The multicast clients join the multicast group via an SVI interface in the two switches and the L2 etherchannel between the switches trunks that particular VLAN.

In a normal situation, the client should be able to receive multicast streams 224.0.1.x (from Active WG) and 224.0.127.x (from Standby WG). After Active BR is reloaded, multicast streams 224.0.127.x can no longer be forwarded from the Standby BR to the Active BR.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the Active BR is reloaded. In a normal situation, the client should be able to receive multicast streams 224.0.1.x (from Active WG) and 224.0.127.x (from Standby WG). After the Active BR is reloaded, multicast streams 224.0.127.x can no longer be forwarded from the Standby BR to the Active BR.

Workaround: After a “clear ip mroute *” in the standby BR, the problem is resolved.

• CSCtt35379

Cisco IOS Software contains a vulnerability in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing protocol feature.

The vulnerability can be triggered when the router receives a malformed attribute from a peer on an existing BGP session.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can cause all BGP sessions to reset. Repeated exploitation may result in an inability to route packets to BGP neighbors during reconvergence times.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds for this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link:

http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20120926-bgp

• CSCtt99627

Symptoms: The lacp rate and lacp port priority commands may disappear following a switchover from active to standby RP.

Conditions: This affects the Cisco 7600 platform.

Before performing a switchover one may check the configuration on the standby RP to see if the commands are present or not. If the commands are not present on the standby RP then they will disappear if a switchover occurs.

Workaround: Prior to switchover if the commands do not show up on the standby RP as described above, then unconfiguring and reconfiguring the command on the active RP will fix the issue.

Otherwise if the commands disappear after a switchover then the commands must be reconfigured on the newly active RP.

• CSCtx04709

Symptoms: Some EIGRP routes may not be removed from the routing table after a route is lost. The route is seen as “active” in the EIGRP topology table, and the active timer is “never”.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when a multiple route goes down at the same time, and query arrives from neighbor router. Finally, neighbor detects SIA for affected router and neighbor state is flap. However, active entry is remaining after that, and route is not updated.

Workaround: The clear ip eigrp topology network mask command may remove unexpected active entry.

• CSCtx11740

Symptoms: The traffic convergence takes longer because of additional/unwanted traffic is punted to CPU as we do not have *,GM code changes. The *,GM entries help drop the traffic that is not needed by MFIB (PI) code.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx32329

Symptoms: When using the show ipv6 rpf command, the router crashes or displays garbage for RPF idb/nbr.

Conditions: This symptom can happen when the RPF lookup terminates with a static multicast route that cannot be resolved.

Workaround: Do not use static multicast routes, or make sure that the next hop specified can always be resolved. Do not use the show command.

• CSCtx35064

Symptoms: Traffic remains on blackholed path until holddown timer expires for PfR monitored traffic class. Unreachables are seen on path, but no reroute occurs until holddown expires.

Conditions: This symptom is seen under the following conditions:

– MC reroutes traffic-class out a particular path (BR/external interface) due to OOP condition on the primary path.

– Shortly after enforcement occurs, an impairment on the new primary path occurs causing blackhole.

– PfR MC does not declare OOP on the new primary path and attempt to find a new path until holddown timer expires. Causes traffic loss.

Workaround: Reduce the holddown timer to 90 seconds (minimum value) to minimize impact.

• CSCtx37768

Symptoms: QoS classification does not match traffic against an egress policy map between MPLS and IP access.

• CSCtx66011

A vulnerability in the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol of Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a memory leak that could lead to a device reload.

The vulnerability is due to incorrect handling of malformed IKE packets by the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted IKE packets to a device configured with features that leverage IKE version 1 (IKEv1).

Although IKEv1 is automatically enabled on a Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software when IKEv1 or IKE version 2 (IKEv2) is configured, the vulnerability can be triggered only by sending a malformed IKEv1 packet.

In specific conditions, normal IKEv1 packets can also cause an affected release of Cisco IOS Software to leak memory.

Only IKEv1 is affected by this vulnerability.

An exploit could cause Cisco IOS Software not to release allocated memory, causing a memory leak. A sustained attack may result in a device reload.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds to mitigate this vulnerability.

This advisory is available at the following link:

http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20130925-ike

Note: The September 25, 2013, Cisco IOS Software Security Advisory bundled publication includes eight Cisco Security Advisories. All advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software.

• CSCtx84948

Symptoms: A Cisco ASR 1000 series router malfunctions after consecutive ESP crashes triggered by CSCtr56576. This symptom is observed when the interfaces are up/up but are not sending traffic. You can also identify this state using the following command:

Router#show platform software interface fp active name GigabitEthernet5/0/0

Name: GigabitEthernet5/0/0, ID: 23, QFP ID: 22, Schedules: 4096

Type: PORT, State: disabled, SNMP ID: 16, MTU: 1500 <<<<<<

The output of the command indicates that at the ESP level, the interface is disabled and can not forward traffic.

Conditions: The Cisco ASR 1000 series router has redundant ESPs and consecutive ESP crashes. This symptom has been caused only by CSCtr56576.

Workaround: Shut/no shut the disabled interface to resume the traffic.

• CSCtx85489

Symptoms: A memory leak is followed by a router crash.

Conditions: This issue is seen in a Cisco 7600 router that is running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S. Configuring and unconfiguring PBR “N” number of times from an interface triggers the crash. The root cause for this issue is that each time when PBR is configured and unconfigured, memory is leaked.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx91831

Symptoms: IP address of the SVI interface is not installed in the routing table.

Conditions: When we have an IP address configured for the BD, the following sequence of configurations puts the box in a state where the corresponding ip- address is not installed in the routing table.

no vlan <vlan-id> --- same as the BD

Int vlan <vlan-id> shutdown --- At this point the Int vlan goes down no shutdown

vlan <vlan-id>

This issue seen only when we have SVI and BD EFP and will not be seen for SVI and trunk ports.

Workaround: A shut/no shut of the interface VLAN after adding the vlan vlan-id command fixes the problem.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty76106

Symptoms: Crash is seen after two days of soaking with traffic.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with node acting as ConPE with multiple services like REP, MST, L3VPN, L2VPN, constant frequent polling of SNMP, RCMD, full scale of routes and bidirectional traffic.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty81700

Symptoms: When a remote PE reloads in MVPN network, it causes a memory leak.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when core interface flap or remote PE node reloads causing a small amount of memory leak. If the node stays up experiencing a lot of core interface/remote PE outages, it can run out of memory and fail to establish PIM neighborship with remote PEs.

Workaround: There is no workaround. As a proactive measure, user can periodically (depending on n/w outages) run the show memory debug leak chunk command and reload the node, if there are a lot of memory leaks reported by this command.

• CSCty82888

Symptoms: Removing an ATM Permanent Virtual Path (PVP) by the no atm pvp command while it is configured with the xconnect command causes a memory leak. This can be observed using the show circuit memory command:

Router#show acircuit memory | include AC ctx chunks

AC ctx chunks : 200/32820 ( 0%) [ 2] Chunk

Also, on a dual-RP system with stateful switchover enabled, if the PVP is immediately reconfigured and the xconnect command is added, the standby RP may reload.

Conditions: These symptoms have been observed on Cisco routers that are running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S.

Workaround: Unconfigure the xconnect using the no connect command before removing the PVP.

• CSCty91955

Symptoms: L2-switched traffic loss within a BridgeDomain routed traffic via an SVI experiences no loss.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with BridgeDomain that has both tagged and untagged EVCs. Issue should not happen with like-to-like scenario.

Workaround: Make sure there is like-to-like (tagged-to-tagged or untagged-to- untagged) communication.

• CSCty93290

Symptoms: Momentary traffic loss of multicast traffic with QoS configuration on EFP is observed.

Conditions: This symptom is seen under the following conditions:

1. Have multiple VLANs in OIF list.

2. Each VLAN should have only one EFP/sp.

3. Have QoS configured on EFPs.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty96263

Symptoms: Under periods of transient interface congestion, an MPLS-TP network may experience unnecessary traffic switchovers or longer than expected restoration times.

Conditions: This symptom is observed during periods of transient interface congestion. Behavior will be caused by loss of pseudowire status packets. Lack of a classification mechanism for these packets prevents user from protecting them with a QoS policy.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty96579

Symptoms: Under periods of transient interface congestion, an MPLS-TP network may experience unnecessary traffic switchovers or longer than expected restoration times.

Conditions: This symptom is observed during periods of transient interface congestion. Behavior will be caused by loss of vital OAM packets (e.g. AIS/LDI, LKR). Lack of a classification mechanism for these packets prevents from protecting them with a QoS policy.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty99331

Symptoms: CPU hog messages are seen on the console.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when applying huge rmap with more than 6k sequences on an interface.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty99711

Symptoms: SIP-400 crash may be observed due to illegal memory access.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE4 when SIP-400 has PPPoE session scale.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz01361

Symptoms: Traffic gets black holed when TE auto-backup is enabled on midpoint router and FFR is configured on the P2MP TE tunnel head end.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when enabling FRR on the head end with auto- backup already configured on the box.

Workaround: Remove auto-backup configuration from the midpoint router.

• CSCtz04090

Symptoms: In a VRRP/HSRP setup, traffic from particular hosts is getting dropped. Ping from the host to any device through the VRRP routers fails.

Conditions: This symptom is usually seen after a VRRP/HSRP switchover. The packet drops because of some packet loop that is created between the routers running VRRP/HSRP.

• CSCtz31888

Symptoms: After state change of one of the L3 uplink interfaces, STP cost of BPDU PW increases from 200 to 2M, which can lead to blocking state in STP for this PW.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with state change of one of the uplink L3 interfaces.

Workaround: Increase the cost of access ring to more then 2M to avoid blocking of the BPDU PW.

• CSCtz32521

Symptoms: In interop scenarios between Cisco CPT and Cisco ASR 9000 platforms, in order to support transport switchover requirement for 50 msec, it would require Cisco ASR 9000 or PI code to allow configuration or negotiation of minimal interval timer to 2.

Conditions: This symptom occurs in interop scenarios between Cisco CPT and Cisco ASR 9000 platform. In order to support transport switchover requirement for 50 msec, it would require Cisco ASR 9000 or PI code to allow configuration or negotiation of minimal interval timer to 2.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtz35467

Symptoms: QoS policy-map gets detached from interface on line protocol down-- >up transition happens on reload, admin shut/no shut and interface flap as well.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when QoS policy-map is applied at interface and more than one child has “priority + police cir percent x” configured.

Workaround: To be preventive use “police cir absolute” instead of “police cir percent x”. To be reactive use EEM applet/script.

Further Problem Description: There is no error message in the syslog, only on console. It seems that line protocol UP can be used as the trigger action for EEM.

• CSCtz40435

Symptoms: The L4 port-range security ACL does not work on EVC.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when security ACL containing L4 port range operation that is applied on EVC. The behavior is not as expected. The same works on physical interface.

Workaround: Add support for L4 port range operation similar to the case of applying it on physical interface.

PSIRT Evaluation: The Cisco PSIRT has evaluated this issue and does not meet the criteria for PSIRT ownership or involvement. This issue will be addressed via normal resolution channels.

Conditions: This symptom happens on shutting the VFI’s VLAN on NPE. Failure of the spoke VC will work as expected.

Workaround: Fail only the spoke VC without affecting the VFI and core VCs on NPE1.

• CSCty23747

Symptoms: MAC Address withdrawal messages are not being sent.

Conditions: This symptom is seen with flapping REP ports on UPE.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty26334

Symptoms: The OSPFv3 neighborship between PE routers does not come up when sham-link is configured between the PE router. The problem is that VRF id of packet and VRF id of interface, on which packet is received (interface VRF1021) matches and therefore OSPF does not know it is sham-link packets and tries to associate it with process on this strange interface VRF1021. But there is no process on VRF1021.

Conditions: This is observed only when trying to establish sham-link in SUP720.

Workaround: There is no workaround

• CSCty28914

Symptoms: CPU hog and CHUNKSIBLINGSEXCEED are observed followed by ES+ cash after performing line card OIR.

Conditions: This symptom is observed after performing line card OIR of ES+ which is having scaled hardware offload BFD sessions.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty30952

Symptoms: QoS policy-map gets rejected on shut/no shut of the interface or router reload.

Conditions: This symptom occurs on router reload or shut/no shut of the interface.

Workaround: Apply the policy-map back.

• CSCty45348

Symptoms: DM in the port-shaper does not affect the police percent.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when configuring a policy-map with shape in the egress direction. Do the DM and modify the rate. Policer changes do not work after the changes.

Workaround: Have an absolute policer to ensure that we will not run into this problem. Dynamic modification of the policer might also fix the issue.

• CSCty46928

Symptoms: The PIM SM mode is not supported for DATA-MDT groups.

Conditions: This symptom is seen with PIM SM mode configuration for Data MDT groups and traffic stream with rate greater than mdt threshold to switch the traffic stream to Data MDT from default.

• CSCta27224

Symptoms: This is a sister defect to CSCta27210 to add CLI support for cell payload scrambling on SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM. Currently, cell payload scrambling is off by default for ATM DS1 interfaces on SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM and on for E1 interfaces. Cell payload scrambling is currently not configurable. This presents an issue when connecting to ATM copper T1 CPEs that require cell payload scrambling or when connecting to E1s devices that do not support cell payload scrambling. As such, this defect makes cell payload scrambling configurable (on or off) on the ATM CEOP family of SPAs for all media types including:

– SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM (ATM DS1, ATM E1, ATM IMA DS1, ATM IMA E1)

– SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM (ATM DS3)

– SPA-24CHT1-CE-ATM (ATM DS1, ATM E1, ATM IMA DS1, ATM IMA E1)

• CSCti48483

The Cisco IOS Software network address translation (NAT) feature contains multiple denial of service (DoS) vulnerabilities in the translation of the following protocols:

NetMeeting Directory (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, LDAP) Session Initiation Protocol (Multiple vulnerabilities) H.323 protocol

All the vulnerabilities described in this document are caused by packets in transit on the affected devices when those packets require application layer translation.

Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.

This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20110928-nat.shtml

• CSCti66155

Symptoms: A Cisco IPSec router may unexpectedly reload due to bus error or software-forced crash because of memory corruption or STACKLOW error.

Conditions: This is seen when the WAN link goes down and causes recursion between multiple tunnels using tunnel protection. (That is, there are tunnel 0 and tunnel 1. After the WAN link goes down, the routing table shows a link to the tunnel 0 destination through tunnel 1 and the tunnel 1 destination is through tunnel 0.)

Workaround 1: Change the tunnel source to be the physical WAN interface so that when the WAN link does go down, the tunnels are brought down immediately.

Workaround 2: Change the routing protocol so that the router in question does not have recursive routing when the link goes down.

Workaround 3: If possible, create a floating null route for the tunnel destinations that is less preferred than the route normal route to the tunnel destination, but more preferred than the route that gets installed after the WAN link goes down.

Symptoms: WRED counters are wrongly updated. The default counter should be 0, but the counter is wrongly updated. All the WRED subclasses show the same count. Counters are shown for WRED subclasses for which there are no traffic matches in the class.

Conditions: This issue is seen on the Cisco 7600 router with ES+ line card only. The Es+ line card does not support per WRED class based counters. There was a recent breakage due to the Transmit packets/bytes column that started showing up for the Es+ line card. This is wrong. As ES+ writes same value to WRED transmit count (not the per subclass base count, but total count), this value does not make sense.

Workaround: Do not use WRED subclass Transmit packets/bytes counters for ES+ line card on the Cisco 7600 router.

• CSCtj38234

Symptoms: IPSec IKEv2 does not respond to INVALID_SPI informational message. It should respond with another INFORMATIONAL IKE message.

An INVALID_SPI may be sent in an IKE INFORMATIONAL exchange when a node receives an ESP or AH packet with an invalid SPI. The notification data contains the SPI of the invalid packet. The INVALID_SPI message is received within a valid IKE_SA context.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when an IKEv2 peer sends an INFORMATIONAL IKE message notifying about an INVALID_SPI (IPSec).

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtj64807

Symptoms: Router crashes while issuing the show vlans dot1q internal command.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with the following conditions:

1. One QinQ subinterface configured with inner VLAN as “any”.

2. More than 32 QinQ subinterfaces configured with same outer VLAN.

3. All subinterfaces are removed except subinterface configured with “any” inner VLAN.

Workaround 1: For any Cisco 10000 series router which has had its first crash - on any subinterface if the outer VLAN has second-dot1q VLAN as only “any”, immediately delete the subinterface and recreate it. Then add a dummy VLAN/sub-interface to this outer VLAN.

Workaround 2: On any outer VLAN (in array state) if they have less than 5 inner VLANs, add a dummy VLAN/subinterface.

• CSCtj76297

Symptoms: Router hangs with interoperability of VM and crypto configurations.

Conditions: The symptoms are seen only during interoperability between video-monitoring and crypto (IPSec VPN) with an AIM-VPN/SSL-3 card.

Workaround: Disable AIM and use onboard CE.

• CSCtj78966

Symptoms: A Cisco ASR 1000 router crashes with thousands of IKEv2 sessions, after many operations on IKEv2 session.

Conditions: This symptom is observed during signing/verification for releases prior to Cisco IOS Release 15.1(2)T4.

Workaround: The Rommon is capable of verifying images signed using both v1.0 and v1.5. As such no workaround is necessary from a usability perspective, the image boots and runs as expected. However, it will not be in compliance with FIPS 140-3 requirements.

• CSCtn16855

Symptoms: The Cisco 7200 PA-A3 cannot ping across ATM PVC.

Conditions: This symptom occurs due to a high traffic rate, and the output policy applied under PVC.

Workaround: There is no workaround. Removing the policy will resolve this issue, but the QoS functionality will not be present in this case.

• CSCtn18229

Symptoms: A policy does not get suspended.

Conditions: This symptom is observed if a policy is applied to fr-pvc, then the member link is flapped from the peer for mfr subint.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtn22728

Symptoms: See the following:

Router(config)#monitor session 1 type erspan-source

Router(config-mon-erspan-src)#destination ?

<cr>

Router(config-mon-erspan-src)#destination int g11/48

Router(config-if)#

Config Sync: Line-by-Line sync verifying failure on

command:

destination int g11/48

due to parser return error

Conditions: This symptom is seen when using unsupported interface CLI option with destination keyword in ERSPAN source session configuration, which may result in Config-Sync failure between Active and Standby-RP, therefore reloading Standby-RP.

Workaround: Do not issue not applicable commands.

• CSCtn26750

Symptoms: The standby RP reloads due to a config-sync error.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when “authentication” or “encryption” is configured for an OSPFv3 virtual link. Then it is changed to use a different SPI, but IPSec fails to remove the policy for the old SPI. When it is changed back to the old SPI, the command fails with the error:

%OSPFv3-3-IPSEC_POLICY_ALREADY_EXIST: SPI is already in use with ospf process

On the active RP the “virtual-link ipsec” configuration is removed, but on the standby RP it remains. Reconfigure “virtual-link ipsec” using the second SPI. This command succeeds on the active RP so it is synched to the standby, however the command already exists on the standby so it generates the config- sync error and reloads.

Workaround: Instead of simply changing the SPI from X to Y, remove X using a no command and then configure Y.

Interface buffer pools:

....

Medium buffers, 256 bytes (total 89647, permanent 3000, peak 89647 @

0 in free list (0 min, 2400 max allowed)

2400 hits, 161836 fallbacks

1200 max cache size, 129 in cache

....

Conditions: This issue is seen post bootup. The Cisco 7600 in HA is required to hit the issue. The show buffers old command shows some buffers hanging on EOBC buffers list for a long time, weeks or more. The issue is a corner case, and buffer leak rate is slow.

This DDTS fixes leaks for the mls cef maximum-routes and mls cef adjacency-mcast commands.

• CSCtr47642

Symptoms: On Cisco IOS Release 15.2(3)T that is running BGP configured as RR with multiple eGBP and iBGP non-clients and iBGP RR clients and enabling the BGP best-external feature using the bgp additional-paths select best- external command, a specific prefix may not have bestpath calculated for a long time.

Conditions: The problem occurs on a certain condition of configuration of the below commands, and a few prefixes are withdrawn during the configuration time:

1. Configure: bgp additional-paths install under vpnv4 AF

2. Configure: bgp additional-paths select best-external

Immediately disable backup path calculation/installation using the no bgp additional-paths install command.

The problem does not appear if both of the above commands are configured with more than a 10-second delay as the commands will be executed independently in two bestpath runs instead of one.

Workaround: Configure the bgp additional-paths install command and the bgp additional-paths select best-external command with a delay of 10 seconds.

• CSCtr48525

Symptoms: When “medium p2p” is configured under a physical interface, followed by configuration of the “mpls tp link” with a unicast entry for tx-mac (in that order) and then by “no medium p2p”, the “mpls tp link” entry is removed from the interface configuration without notification. Removal of the “mpls tp link” entries based on changes in the interface P2P status via the “medium p2p” configuration is inconsistent.

Conditions: This symptom is observed in an IPLess configuration. First, “medium p2p” is added under a physical interface, followed by configuration of the “mpls tp link” with a unicast entry for tx-mac. Then, “medium p2p” is removed from under that physical interface. It is seen that the configuration for “mpls tp link” with a unicast entry for tx-mac is also removed from under the physical interface without notification to the user.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtr51926

Symptoms: IPv6 packets are not classified properly in a subinterface when a service-policy is applied on the main interface.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when a service-policy is applied on the main interface.

• CSCtr53056

Symptoms: The Cisco ME 3600 crashes due to watchdog timeout.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when switchport is configured on an interface that has PIM enabled. This is a timing issue and may not be seen every time.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtr53739

Symptoms: The tunnel-encap entry is wrongly programmed. The following show command is used:

show platform software multicast ip cmfib vrf vrf- name tunnel-encap verbose

Conditions: This symptom occurs during deletion and readdition of the VRF with the multicast MDT configured and P2P tunnels as the access-facing interface, along with Gigabit subinterfaces.

This issue is seen under the following conditions:

1. Configure the mcast VRF with P2P tunnels as access-facing, along with Gigabit subinterfaces. Use a sip400 line card as the access-facing line card.

2. Delete the VRF, P2P tunnel, and Gigabit subinterface.

3. Add the same VRF again after a 60-second interval.

4. Observe the tunnel-encap entry wrong programmed on the SP, with corrupt values.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtr56174

Symptoms: The MPLS-TE link count reaches a large value (4 billion+) on the Cisco ASR 1000 series router and negative value on the Cisco 7600 series router. This issue is seen in the show mpls tr link sum and show mpls tr link int command output.

Conditions: This symptom occurs if MPLS-TE tunnels are deleted using the no int tunX command and if the number of TE tunnels deleted are more than the TE links on the box. Even if they are not, with every TE tunnel deleted, the link count is affected and gets reduced.

Workaround: Do not delete MPLS-TE tunnels using the no int tuX command. If a TE tunnel is not required, shut it down. If these symptoms are observed, the only way is to reboot.

• CSCtr59314

Symptoms: A router reloads when the clear crypto session command is issued with 4000 sessions up.

Conditions: This symptom is observed only under load conditions.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtr61289

Symptoms: FlexVPN client remains in NEGOTIATING state, despite being on auto- connect mode, when the FlexVPN server executes a clear crypto session.

Conditions: This occurs in a dVTI setting, where the server has a virtual- template interface and the client has a static tunnel interface that connects to the server. This is not observed in a static setting.

Workaround: On the client, issue a clear crypto ikev2 client flexvpn to clear the FlexVPN session and allow the client to reconnect to the server again.

• CSCtr67852

Symptoms: Invalid route entries injected by the RRI mechanism after an HSRP failover happens in a stateful IPSec HA setup.

Conditions: The symptom is observed following a failover in a stateful IPSec HA setup and the use of RRI.

Workaround: Clear all crypto sessions with clear crypto session or remove and add back the crypto map to the interface where it is applied.

• CSCtr69416

Symptoms: Configuring “redistribute connected” in OSPF does not work for some interfaces. Configuring “redistribute ospf” in other protocols works even if OSPF is not enabled on interfaces.

Conditions: This symptom occurs under the following conditions:

– Enable OSPF on the interface using the ip ospf area command.

– Delete the OSPF process using the no router ospf command.

This issue is seen if the OSPF process is reenabled and the interface is not a part of a new OSPF process anymore.

Workaround: Use the ip ospf area and the no ip ospf area commands to reset internal flags.

• CSCtr72835

Symptoms: The “Unable to initialize the geometry of nvram” message is coming continuously on the console while performing ISSU upgrade from Cisco IOS Release XE 3.4S to Release XE 3.5S.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtr81559

Symptoms: The PPP session fails to come up occasionally on LNS due to a matching magic number.

Conditions: This symptom is observed during LCP negotiation, when the random magic number generated on the client matches the magic number generated on the LNS. PPP assumes it to be a loopback and disconnects the PPP session. This condition occurs rarely.

Workaround: To avoid this, renegotiate the LCP. Configure the client using the retry command. This may cause the next session to come up correctly.

• CSCtr82351

Symptoms: Router crashes when trying to change OSFP area/multipath parameters.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when the NLFM learning process causes CPU HOG, and the router is forced to crash by watchdog.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtr82600

Symptoms: More than half the amount of multicast traffic is dropped.

Conditions: This issue is seen in scale condition when moving from data MDTs to default MDTs.

Symptom 2: The routes in BGP may not get installed to RIB.

Conditions: The symptoms are only observed with routes with the same prefix, but a different mask length. For example, X.X.X.X/32, X.X.X.X/31, X.X.X.X/30 ..... X.X.X.X/24, etc. These issues are not easily seen and are found through code walkthrough.

For symptom 1, each update group is allocated an advertised-bit that is stored at BGP net. This issue is seen when the number of update groups increases and if BGP needs to reallocate advertised-bits. Also, this symptom is observed only with a corner case/timing issue.

For symptom 2, if among the same routes with a different prefix length, if more specific routes (15.0.0.0/32) do not have any bestpath (for example, due to NH not being reachable or inbound policy denying the path, but path exists due to soft-reconfiguration), then even if a less specific route (15.0.0.0/24) has a valid bestpath, it may not get installed.

Workaround for Symptom 1: Remove “import-route target” and reconfigure route-target.

Workaround for Symptom 2: Clear ip route x.x.x.x to resolve the issue.

• CSCtr92285

Symptoms: The following log is seen, and VCs cannot be configured.

SSM CM: SSM switch id 0 [0x0] allocated ACLIB [Gi9/1/0.3830, 3830]: Failed to setup switching for VLAN interface ...

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the access circuit interface shut and core flaps occurring, along with pseudowire redundancy. Also, leaks occur per flap.

Workaround: There is no workaround. If VCs can be removed, do so to release some IDs. Otherwise, try a redundancy switchover.

• CSCtr93337

Symptoms: A route-map for IPv6 is configured with set VRF action. After sending the traffic, VRF neighbor is not getting resolved.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when IPv6 PBR is configured with set VRF part.

Workaround: Before sending the traffic, resolve neighborship by sending ping or using BGP routing protocol.

• CSCtr93685

Symptoms: SPA console is disabled and, interface goes up/down on executing the command for SPA keepalive failure.

Conditions: This symptom is seen after executing the slay -s SIGSEGV spa_ipc command at the SPA console. The SPA is UP and the controller is UP. No alarms are seen at the controller output. All the serial interfaces go UP/DOWN on the local end, and at the remote end they are DOWN/DOWN.

After this, unable to login on the SPA console. The issue is seen on the chopper spa also.

Workaround: Reset the line card.

Conditions: The issue is seen after recreating the interface.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts02627

Symptoms: The show mac-address-table command displays invalid/incomplete port list for entries learned on VPLS Bridge Domain.

It is observed that port-channel “Po1” is displayed as “Po”, and the Virtual Circuit IDs are missing in the port list of the mac-address-table entries. This is a display issue.

Conditions: This symptom is observed only with mac-address-table entries that are learned on VPLS Bridge Domain VLAN.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts05166

Symptoms: A Cisco 7200 series router drops frame-relay LMI from third party if C/R bit is set to 1 in it. This further drops the frame-relay link.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when frame-relay+other side is sending LMI with C/R bit 1 occasionally. Encapsulation frame-relay on Cisco can be Cisco or IETF. Both noticed the problem.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts06929

Symptoms: Disposition traffic gets dropped after SSO as the new local labels allocated by AToM do not get programmed on the line cards.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when pseudowires are configured on the setup without graceful restart configured. Then, SSO is performed and two local labels have the same disposition information. This really manifests as a traffic drop issue when the scale is high.

Workaround: Configuring graceful restart resolves this issue.

• CSCts11594

Symptoms: A mediatrace session is scheduled with an attached session- parameter. The session is unscheduled and the session-parameters removed so that the default session parameters should be used.

On the first schedule, traceback is seen. The session is again unscheduled and scheduled for second time and a crash is seen.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when using custom session-parameters for a session and then removing it. Then using the default session-parameters followed by scheduled and unscheduled twice.

Workaround: Use either the default session-parameters or custom session- parameters. Do not toggle between both.

Symptoms: Standby SUP720 crash is observed on the Cisco 7600 router in c7600s72033-advipservicesk9-mz.150-1.S3a.bin. This issue is random and recurring. Tracebacks are generated with the following error message:

%CPU_MONITOR-STDBY-3-PEER_FAILED: CPU_MONITOR peer process has failed to receive heartbeats

Conditions: This symptom is observed on the Cisco 7600 router with mistral based supervisors like SUP720. This issue is fairly uncommon, but affects all the versions after Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE, including Cisco IOS Releases 15.0S, 15.1S and 15.2S. This does not affect RSP 720.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts13720

Symptoms: When static pseudowires are configured with VCCV BFD, some of the VCs may not come up.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when a static pseudowire is configured with VCCV BFD.

Workaround: For the VCs that are DOWN, issue the clear xconnect peer peer-ip-address vcid vcid value command to bring the VC back UP.

• CSCts14799

Symptoms: Memory leak is observed on IPSEC key engine and IPSec background.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with 2000 IPv6 over IPv4 GRE tunnels protected by IPSEC.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts15034

Symptoms: A crash is seen at dhcpd_forward_request.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the DHCP relay feature when it is used with a scaled configuration and significant number of DHCP relay bindings.

Workaround: If possible, from a functional point of view, remove the ip dhcp relay information option vpn command. Otherwise, there is no workaround.

• CSCts16013

Symptoms: Longevity testing session churn causes RP crash on the Cisco ASR1K router. RP crash occurs due to memory leak by the QOS Accounting feature.

Conditions: This symptom is observed during testing with the QOS Accounting feature PAC2. This issue is seen when there are a large number of sessions and churns with “aaa-accounting” in the QOS policy-map.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts16285

Symptoms: The system may experience delays in updating multicast information on the line cards. MFIB/MRIB error messages may be observed when IPC messages from the line card to the RP time out. In the worst case, the line card may become disconnected if timeouts continue for a long period.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when the system has a very heavy IPC load or CPU load.

Workaround: Take necessary actions, if possible, to reduce the IPC load. Sometimes, the IPC load could be due to noncritical processes.

• CSCts18404

Symptoms: A Flex VPN (IKEv2) client may lose complete connectivity via its VPNs even though SAs are in place.

Crypto routes are missing, and the tunnel negotiated address is missing too. Other config-exchange information may be missing too.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Flex VPN client that may end up having duplicate IKEv2 SAs with a server. When this condition occurs and one of the duplicate SAs is removed (which usually happens naturally but can also happen administratively), all config-exchange configurations are withdrawn despite the fact there is still another IKEv2 SA active.

Workaround: There is no clean workaround.

The only solution is to manually clear the IKEv2 SAs on the Flex Client to force a renegotiation. Because the Flex Clients can be disseminated in the field and because network conditions can trigger duplicate SAs on a massive amount of clients, this workaround is barely practical.

• CSCts20246

Symptoms: The DR for the receiver segment forwards IPv6 multicast packets on the Accepting Interface of S,G.

Conditions: This symptom occurs while multicast stream is running and the RPF interface towards the source and RP goes down on the DR and the interface connected to the receiver (oif in S,G before interface goes down) becomes the RPF interface for the source and RP and hence iif for S,G.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts23708

Symptoms: No NHRP routes will be added for all other discovered prefixes.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when spoke to spoke traffic is triggered.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts23841

Symptoms: V-cookie is not present in account profile query replies.

Conditions: This symptom is observed in recent ISG images.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts23882

Symptoms: ISG calculates the radius response authenticator in CoA account- profile-status-query replies wrongly, resulting in an invalid response.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the CoA/WWW based session authentication is triggered via a CoA account logon using the “old” SSG command attributes.

Workaround: Configure a fix “NAS-IP-Address” value with the radius- server attribute 4 x.x.x.x command.

• CSCts24348

Symptoms: PBR “set vrf” feature can cause unnecessary ARP requests and packet drops if some other feature is configured on the same router interface and packets are punted to process-switching path. This issue slows down TCP traffic considerably as first SYN in a flow may always be dropped.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with multi-VRF selection using the Policy Based Routing (PBR) feature. It was observed in all IOS versions with new CEF code (Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T and upwards). The issue was not seen in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T and Release 12.4(25).

Workaround: This issue can be alleviated by using proxy ARP on the upstream device. Otherwise, there is no workaround.

• CSCts27042

Symptoms: PIM bidirectional traffic loops upon DF-election and RPF-change.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with several hundred streams combined with a routing change (interface shutdown/no shutdown or metric increment/decrement).

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts27333

Symptoms: Multicast traffic is forwarded in software due to MTU failures.

Conditions: This symptom is seen with packet size greater than the standard interface MTU being forwarded on the standby supervisor in a VSS setup. The problem is only seen with GRE tunnel OIF, where the tunnel MTU is incorrect in spite of the underlying interface being configured to accept a higher MTU.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts28315

Symptoms: A DHCP PD request does not accept a specific server.

Conditions: The symptom is observed because the router does not include any IA Prefix option in Request message. This is correct behavior of RFC:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3633#section-10

A requesting router may set the IPv6 prefix field to zero and a given value in the prefix-length field to indicate a preference for the size of the prefix to be delegated.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts31111

Symptoms: Coredump generation fails on the Cisco 800.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when coredump is configured.

Workaround: Go to ROMmon, and set a variable WATCHDOG_DISABLE before the coredump happens, as follows:

conf t config-reg 0x0 end wr reload yes <rommon prompt> DISABLE_WATCHDOG=yes sync set conf-reg 0x2102 reset

Symptoms: Traffic gets punted to the RP.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when there are multiple P2P-GRE tunnels in a particular VRF. Remove one particular P2P-GRE tunnel from that VRF.

Workaround: Shut/no shut P2P-GRE tunnels in that particular VRF, for which traffic is getting punted to the RP.

• CSCts32963

Symptoms: Standby is not coming up.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when a distribute-list is configured. The ACL is created if it does not exist. Then remove the ACL, but the distribute-list configuration that ties to the ACL is not removed. Configure the IPv6 ACL configuration with the same ACL name. Save the configuration and reload it.

Conditions: Traceback is observed while configuring the routers randomly. It is not observed manually.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts39240

Symptoms: The advertise command is not available in BGP peer-policy templates.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on Cisco router running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(01.05)T, Cisco IOS Release 15.2(00.16)S, Cisco IOS Release 15.1 (03)S0.3, or later releases.

Workaround: The keyword and functionality is still available to be configured in the BGP neighbor command.

• CSCts39284

Symptoms: Packet is corrupted. The bottom of the label stack bit is not set correctly.

• CSCts39535

Symptoms: BGP IPv6 routes that originate from the local router (via network statements or redistribute commands) fail to match any specified condition in an outbound route map used on a neighbor statement, regardless of the expected matching results. Thus, the route map may not be applied correctly, resulting in erroneous filtering or advertising of unintended routes.

Further testing revealed that the suppress-map and unsuppress-map commands (used in conjunction with the aggregate-address command) are also broken, in the sense that the route-map filtering will fail to correctly suppress or unsuppress a subnet under the aggregated prefix.

Conditions: An outbound route map with a match statement is used in a “neighbor” statement for an IPv6 or VPNv6 neighbor in BGP, and there are locally originated routes, either through network statements or by redistribution. All “match” statements except for “as-path,” “community,” and “extcommunity” are impacted; this includes match ipv6 address, protocol, next-hop, route-source, route-type, mpls, tag.

Workaround: None for the same router. However, inbound route maps work fine, so configuring inbound route maps on the neighboring router can compensate.

Another way to handle it would be to configure prefix lists directly on the network statement. So filtering will be preserved. But, there will not be a way to “set” anything as route maps can typically do.

• CSCts41217

Symptoms: Memory leak occurs in const_mfib_lc_* processes.

Conditions: This symptom is observed during deletion and addition of VRFs. Multicast needs to be enabled in the VRF and the P2P tunnels should be present in the VRF. VRF should be removed before deleting the P2P tunnels for this to happen.

Workaround: Delete all the P2P tunnels before removing the VRF

• CSCts42154

Symptoms: After the Cisco IOS ASR 1006 router is reloaded, it fails to reregister to the key server. From the debugs, it is observed that the attempt to register is generated too early before the GDOI is ON. This registration attempt is made before the interface, through which GDOI registration traffic with the key server passes, goes to the UP state.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco IOS ASR 1006 router that runs Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S2 and Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S3.

Workaround: Use the clear crypto gdoi command to fix this issue.

• CSCts44718

Symptoms: A router may crash.

Conditions: The crash may occur when a service policy that has a flow monitor as an action is applied to a virtual interface and that virtual interface is deleted. It may also occur when the service policy is applied to a physical interface that is removed by OIR.

Workaround: Before deleting (or OIRing) the interface, remove the flow monitor from the policy or the policy from the interface.

• CSCts45619

Symptoms: T.38 Fax calls through the CUBE enterprise on the Cisco ASR platform with the Cisco IOS MTP colocated on the ASR can fail with cause 47 and subsequently leak a structure on the forwarding plane, causing future call failures.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with T.38 calls through the CUBE enterprise on the Cisco ASR platform (only) with colocated MTPs in the call flow.

Workaround: On nonredundant ASR platforms, a reload is required to clear the hung structures on the forwarding plane. On the Cisco ASR1006 with redundant RPs and ESPs, you can perform a switchover of the ESPs (FPs) to clear the problem, as follows:

hw-module slot F0 reload ! confirm via show platform that the F0 is in a ok, standby state, takes some time for the F0 to reload. sh platform ! do not execute the below command until F0 is back online hw-module slot F1 reload ! again, confirm via show platform that the F1 is in a ok, standby state sh platform

• CSCts47566

Symptoms: During standby RP bootup, an incorrect ICMP punt entry for MPLS interfaces gets programmed. This entry appears even if the interface has no ACL applied in the input/output direction.

2037#show tcam inter gi4/0/3 acl in ip

* Global Defaults shared

Entries from Bank 0

punt icmp any any eq 11 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< permit ip any any (1895 matches)

Entries from Bank 1

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the ICMP punt entry, which is required to allow trace route across MPLS cloud. This is a workaround for a hardware problem with Tycho. The feature is called “FM_FEATURE_MPLS_ICMP_BRIDGE”. This workaround is required only if there are aggregate labels programmed in the superman VPN cam, but can get set incorrectly even when there is no VRF configuration on the box.

Workaround: To clear the entry set unnecessarily, disable/enable MPLS on the interface for which it appears.

• CSCts47605

Symptoms: For ECMP on the Cisco ASR1k router, RSVP does not select the right outgoing interface.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with RSVP configuration with ECMP.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts47776

Symptoms: Router crashes due to Mediatrace performance monitor debug.

Conditions: The issue is seen with debug performance monitor database.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts47982

Symptoms: Multicast traffic drops on trunk ports with output drops incrementing.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when non-rpf packets make it to the node due to the network redundancy. The hardware met is wrongly programmed for rpf- fail packet handling.

Workaround: Shut the interface on which non-rpf packets are coming on. Alternatively, change the DR priorities so that multicast forwarding happens only from one of the nodes.

• CSCts48300

Symptoms: Interface queue wedge may occur when malformed traffic is received on port UDP 465. A maximum of 50 packets will become wedged.

Conditions: Some malformed traffic must exist.

Workaround: There is no workaround. Without the PA, flexwan will come up.

• CSCts52643

Symptoms: Session will not get offloaded to hardware when enabling HWO using the no platform bfd enable-offload command.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when all workload credit is allocated so no more sessions are coming up.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts55322

Symptoms: More traffic is sent out because of stale MET entries.

Conditions: This symptom occurs in a scale condition when the route towards the core on the source PE is changed.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts55371

Symptoms: OSPF will not flood link state updates over an interface. The command show ip ospf flood-list will show interface entries similar to:

Interface Tunnel1, Queue length 181 Link state retransmission due in 1706165974 msec

Note the high value for the retransmission timer.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with some newer S and T releases including Cisco IOS Release 15.1(2)S, Release 15.1(3)S, and Release 15.2(1)T.

The issue can occur on interfaces where OSPF has not flooded updates for more than 24 days. This can include interfaces that are newly configured for OSPF if the router has been up longer than that. Interfaces that flood LSAs at least once every 24 days will not be affected.

Workaround: To clear a hung interface use clear ip ospf process.

• CSCts56044

Symptoms: A Cisco router crashes while executing a complex command. For example:

show flow monitor access_v4_in cache aggregate ipv4 precedence sort highest ipv4 precedence top 1000

Conditions: This symptom is observed while executing show flow monitor top top-talkers command.

Workaround: Do not execute complex flow monitor top-talker commands.

• CSCts57115

Symptoms: After the following procedure is executed, multicast traffic on several VRFs is not forwarded to the outbound tunnel interface for MDT.

The procedure is as follows: 1) Reload the router. 2) Perform RP switchover. 3) Perform active ESP(F0) hardware reload. 4) Perform active ESP(F1) hardware reload.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when MVPN sends out multicast traffic on a lot of VRFs.

Workaround: Use the ip pim sparse-mode command to reconfigure the loopback0(global) interface.

• CSCts57295

Symptoms: The following commands will be displayed by the show running configuration command even if only the mac- address-table notification change mac-address-table notification mac- move command is used or if only the mac address-table notification change mac address-table notification mac-move command is used. Also, we can delete all of them by deleting one pair of them.

%NHRP-3-QOS_POLICY_APPLY_FAILED: Failed to apply QoS policy 10M-shape mapped to NHRP group xx on interface Tunnelxx, to tunnel x.x.x.x due to policy installation failure

Conditions: The symptom is observed when “per-tunnel” QoS is applied and there are more than nine DMVPN spokes. (Up to eight spokes, with QoS applied is fine.)

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts63501

Symptoms: The non-EOS forwarding path for the explicit null label (reserved label 0) is programmed as drop on the line card, resulting in PW traffic loss with an MPLS LDP explicit-null configuration.

Conditions: The PW traffic loss occurs on line cards in which MPLS LDP explicit-null is set.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts64539

Symptoms: The BGP next hop is inaccessible. The show ip route command output in the global and VRF routing tables shows that the next hop is reachable. The show ip bgp vpnv4 all attr next-hop command output shows max metric for the next hop.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when an import map uses the “ip vrf name next-hop” feature while importing single-hop eBGP routes from the global routing table to the VRF routing table.

Workaround 1: If “set ip next-hop” is not configured in import route map, this issue does not occur.

Workaround 2: If “neighbor x.x.x.x ebgp-multihop” is configured, this issue does not occur. The knob needs to be configured for all eBGP peers, where routes are imported to the VRF with “et ip next-hop”.

Workaround 3: If “neighbor x.x.x.x disable-connected-check” is configured for a single-hop eBGP, this issue does not occur. The knob needs to be configured for all eBGP peers, where routes are imported to the VRF with “set ip next-hop”.

• CSCts65564

Symptoms: In a large scale DMVPN environment, a DMVPN hub router may crash in the IOS process under high scale conditions.

Conditions: This only occurs if CRL caching is disabled (with the command crl cache none under the pki trustpoint configuration).

Workaround: Enable CRL caching (this is the configured default).

• CSCts67465

Symptoms: If you configure a frequency greater than the enhanced history interval or if the enhanced history interval is not a multiple of the frequency, the standby will reset.

Conditions: The symptom is observed always, if the standby is configured as an SSO.

Workaround: Remove enhanced history interval configuration before resetting the frequency.

• CSCts68541

Symptoms: In IPsec scaling test, when CPE is keeping reload, all IPsec sessions will be torn down and reestablished. During the session flapping, RP reset is observed sometimes.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts70790

Symptoms: A Cisco 7600 router ceases to advertise a default route configured via “neighbor default-originate” to a VRF neighbor when the eBGP link between a Cisco 7600 router and its VRF eBGP peer flaps.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when another VPNv4 peer (PE router) is advertising a default route to the Cisco 7600 router with the same RD but a different RT as the VRF in question. When the VRF eBGP connection flaps, the VRF default is no longer advertised.

Workaround: Remove and re-add the neighbor default- originate command on the Cisco 7600 router and do a soft clear for the VRF neighbor.

• CSCts71958

Symptoms: When the router is reloaded due to crash, the show version output shows the reload reason as below:

Last reload reason: Critical software exception, check bootflash:crashinfo_RP_00_00_20110913-144633-PDT

After this, the same reason is shown even if the router is reloaded several times using the reload command.

Conditions: The issue seen after a crash.

• CSCts72911

Symptoms: In case of a GR/NSF peering, after an SSO switchover, the restarting router (PE, in this case) does not advertise RT constrain filters to the non-restarting peer (RR, in this case).

Conditions: The symptom is observed after an SSO switchover in GR/NSF peering. Due to the RT constrain filters not sent by the restarting router after the SSO, the non-restarting router does not send back the corresponding VPN prefixes towards the restarted router.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts74982

Symptoms: Performance Monitor is unable to create monitor object for policy because of collision when creating monitor object.

Conditions: The issue is seen with dynamic Performance Monitor policy on Mediatrace routers.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts76410

Symptoms: Tunnel interface with IPSec protection remains up/down even though there are active IPSec SAs.

Conditions: The symptom is observed during a rekey when the IPSec lifetime is high and the control packets do not reach the peer. The issue was observed on Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T and Release 15.0(1)M7.

Workaround: Shut/no shut the tunnel if the situation occurs. You can use EEM to recover automatically.

• CSCts76964

Writing crashinfo to bootflash:crashinfo_RP_00_00_20110308-100545-UTC

Conditions: The symptom is observed under the following conditions:

– GETVPN is operational on the Cisco ASR router.

– Registration to the Key-Server happens over the physical links.

– There is one primary and secondary link to the Key-Server.

– The crypto map is enabled on the primary interface first. Everything works fine here.

– The crypto map is enabled on the secondary interface.The ASR crashes as soon as you enable it on the Secondary interface with tracebacks, as shown above.

– The crash is also observed if the secondary interface is down and the crypto map is applied on it, although the crash is not observed instantly.

– The issue is also observed in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)Sa, along with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)XNE (could be reproduced only once at the first instance, and was not seen in subsequent tries) and Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)XNF2.

When the same GDOI crypto-map is applied to two interfaces (in primary and secondary role), without the local-address configuration and TBAR enabled, and when KS sends the TBAR pseudotime update, the GM code gets confused between the two interfaces and the crash is observed. It is considered to be more of a timing issue.

Workaround 1: Disable TBAR on the Key-Server, that is, either with no replay or by changing it to counter-based to resolve the issue.

Workaround 2: Use the crypto map name local-address logical-address command globally on the Cisco ASR router and let the registration happen through the loopback.The loopback should be reachable to the Key-Server over the primary and the secondary links, respectively. Then, enable the crypto map on the primary and secondary interfaces, which will work fine.

• CSCts81427

Symptoms: With a scaled dLFIoATM configuration on FlexWAN, after issuing SSO, some of the interfaces stop pinging.

Conditions: This symptom is observed after doing SSO.

Workaround: Shut/no shut of the ATM interface helps to resolve the problem.

• CSCts82058

Symptoms: Creation of Overlay interface leads to router crash.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when configuring overlay interface and enabling OTV commands followed by the otv join-interface command on the core facing interface.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Conditions: This symptom is seen where there are multiple ISIS instances that have BFD enabled, and one of the ISIS instances is deleted.

Workaround: Do not enable ISIS BFD on multiple ISIS instances or disable ISIS BFD from the instance before deconfiguring it.

• CSCts85694

Symptoms: The following error message is displayed:

%FMANRP_ESS-3-ERREVENT: TC still has features applied. TC evsi (0x104C2E4)

Conditions: This symptom is seen when clearing the sessions after a long time, and the memory leak increases incrementally. Leak is very slow.

Workaround 1: Do not bring down all sessions together.

Workaround 2: Do not tear down the sessions (scale numbers: 4k and above) together from different sources (say clearing PPP sessions and ISG sessions in lab; in field, clearing might happen via other triggers) simultaneously with no time gap between them.

Workaround 3: Do not have accounting accuracy configured.

Workaround 4: In this case, ISG Features are applied on TC and Session both. If we do not apply the features on the TCs, chances of this happening are less.

• CSCts86788

Symptoms: CPU Hog messages start to appear followed by a crash.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the show mpls traffic-eng fast-reroute database interface name detail command is issued on an interface where there are no MPLS-TE tunnels.

Workaround: Do not issue this command on an interface where there are no MPLS-TE tunnels.

Further Problem Description: The trigger is simple, that is, issuing the FRR show display command on an interface on which there are no MPLS-TE tunnels.

• CSCts88467

Symptoms: Drops happen earlier than expected.

Conditions: This symptom occurs if the queue-limit is incorrectly calculated.

Workaround: Configure a queue-limit explicitly to fix this issue, then remove and reapply the policy. Configuring queue-limit in parent policy automatically triggers calculation based on the parent queue-limit value on the child queue-limits based on bandwidth allocated to various classes.

• CSCts88817

Conditions: The lockup may occur if there are non-fabric cards in the chassis with the ASA or NAM3 card. Non-fabric cards have a model number of 61xx, 62xx, 63xx, and 64xx.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts89761

Symptoms:

1. Inline service policy Configuration: Unable to configure monitor parameters once the flow monitor is specified. See the following example:

Router(config)#interface GigabitEthernet0/2/1 Router(config-if)#service-policy type performance-monitor inline input Router(config-if-spolicy-inline)#match access-group 110 Router(config-if-spolicy-inline)#flow monitor FM_DEF_TCP <--- After this point, all configs will print out an error message Router(config-if-spolicy-inline)#monitor parameters <----- Not accepted Router(config-spolicy-inline-mparam)#interval duration 10 <-------- Not accepted Router(config-spolicy-inline-mparam)#history 5 <------------ Not accepted

2. Non-inline service policy: Unable to change monitor parameters once the flow monitor is bound to a policy-map and attached to an interface. See the following example:

If an attempt is made to change monitor parameters of an already attached policy as below, it will be rejected.

UUT_451(config)#policy-map type performance-monitor VM_POLICY UUT_451(config-pmap)#class VM_CLASS UUT_451(config-pmap-c)#flow monitor VM_MONITOR UUT_451(config-pmap-c)#monitor parameters UUT_451(config-pmap-c-mparam)#history 6 <----------- Error message will show up if previous history value is different UUT_451(config-pmap-c-mparam)#interval duration 7 <----- Error message will show up if previous interval duration is different UUT_451(config-pmap-c-mparam)#react 102 mrv <-------- Error message will show up if this react was not configured before or if the subsequent command changes the threshold value of the already-configured react.

Conditions:

1. This symptom is seen when configuring an inline service policy for performance monitor on ASR platform.

2. This symptom is seen when modifying monitor parameters of a non-inline service policy for performance monitor on a Cisco ASR platform.

Workaround:

1. To configure inline service policy, always specify all monitor parameters first and put the flow monitor monitor name command as the last command in the configuration.

2. To change monitor parameters, remove the service-policy by using the no service-policy command, make your changes, and then reattach the service-policy.

The above configuration restrictions do not apply if the enclosing policy-map is not attached to any interface. Also the changes do not apply if you specify an “empty” flow monitor, for example a flow monitor without an enclosing valid flow record.

• CSCts90734

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts91603

Symptoms: Higher rate is seen on the QoS policies attached on the L3 interface, which has multicast interest.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when the non-rpf packets make way into the node due to wrong handling by the hardware met. The L3 interfaces see these packets where they are dropped. But before they get dropped, they get accounted in the egress QoS policy on the L3 interface.

Workaround: Shut the interface on which these non-rpf packets make way or clear the multicast groups once.

• CSCts97124

Symptoms: Active crashes upon configuring a large number of TP tunnels with scale configurations either using copy paste or loading from a configuration file.

Conditions: This symptom is not very consistent, not reproducible all the time, and happens only on adding tunnel TP configurations. The crash occurs when the protect-lsp is being configured.

Workaround: Manually add the MPLS-TP tunnels through CLI instead of copying from a configuration or copy pasting a large configuration.

• CSCts97803

Symptoms: When a policy-map is configured with two RTP class-maps and two RTP encapsulated MDI class-maps, flows are monitored on them. Changing one of the RTP class-maps to MDI will lead to the crash. Also when a policy-map is configured with both RTP and MDI class-maps, and if the flow being monitored by them is RTP encapsulated MDI flows, then RTP monitoring will not work.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when policy-map is configured with both RTP and MDI class-maps. The RTP flow to be monitored should be RTP encapsulated MDI flow.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts97856

Symptoms: PIM Assert is sent out from a router with metric [0/0], though the router has a less preferred path to reach the Source or RP.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when an mroute is first created and its RPF lookup to the Source or RP is via BGP or Static, which involves recursive lookup, or there is no valid path to reach Source or RP. This issue only occurs in a small window in milliseconds. After the window, the metric [0/0] is corrected.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts97925

Symptoms: IPv6 pings within VRF fail, where the next-hop (egress) is part of the global.

Conditions: This symptom is observed only with IPv6, and not with IPv4.

Workaround: Disable IPv6 CEF.

• CSCts98336

Symptoms: IKEv2 router crashes in exec when unconfiguring an active IKEv2 profile.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when an IKEv2 profile is in use. The crash is occurring only if the profile is configured in a certain way.

Workaround: Unconfigure first the AAA authorization block.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt01056

Symptoms: When a shell map configuration includes a parameter with no default value, that is, parameter1="", "<>", or "", then that parameter should be considered mandatory. During service activation of that shell map, if parameter1 is not provided by Radius, the activation should be rejected:

– In case of service activation from Access-Accept, the session should be terminated.

– In case of service activation from COA, the COA should be NAKed, and the services rolled back.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with a shell map configuration when some parameters do not have the default value configured, such as param="", "<>", or "". This issue is seen with service activation with a missing mandatory parameter.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt02313

Symptoms: When a border router (BR) having a parent route in EIGRP is selected, “Exit Mismatch” is seen. After the RIB-MISMATCH code was integrated, RIB-MISMATCH should be seen, and the TC should be controlled by RIB-PBR, but they are not.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when two BRs have a parent route in BGP and one BR has a parent route in EIGRP. The preferable BR is the BR which has a parent route in EIGRP. The BRs having BGP have no EIGRP configured.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt02645

Symptoms: CPUHOG is seen due to flapping of all NHRP.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with scaling to 3k spokes on RP1.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt03126

Symptoms: Cisco ME 3600X is not passing multicast packets to 224.0.0.x through EVC configuration unicast traffic and multicast traffic except 224.0.0.x passes through without any issues. This has been observed on TenGig interface on the Cisco ME 3600X.

Conditions: This symptom is seen under the following conditions:

1. Bridge Domain is greater than 4094 or

2. Spanning tree mode is not MST or

3. Packets coming into the Cisco ME 3600X are untagged.

Workaround:

1. Make sure that the packets coming into the Cisco ME 3600X are tagged with VLAN ID. If it is a L3 port, then create a subinterface and configure encapsulation dot1q vlan.

• CSCtt03485

Symptoms: ES40: IDBMAN crash is seen with “no ip flow-export destination <> vrf <>”.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when “ip flow-export destination 10.21.1.1 3000 vrf vrf_1120” is removed.

PE2(config)#no ip flow-export destination 10.21.1.1 3000 vrf vrf_1120

PE2#show vlan internal usage | i NDE both NDE internal VLANs 1013, 1015 are cleared from ’internal VLAN table’

PE2#show monitor event-trace idbman all | i NDE clear NDE_1013 vlan 1013 clear NDE_1013 vlan 1013 mapping 1013 is cleared, but 1015 is not cleared from idbman mapping

PE2#test platform debugger callfn name idbman_dump_vlans 0 Calling address (0x0AF46AFC) 1: Vl1 : 1 1015: NDE_1015 : 1015 mapping 1015 is still present in IDBMAN, eventhough 1015 is a free VLAN, so, it can be allocated to any new interface

Now, 1015 can be allocated for any other new interface, as it is cleared from “internal VLAN table”, whereas it is not cleared from IDBMAN mapping. Thus, you can reproduce the IDBMAN inconsistency with NDE interfaces.

When a new interface comes UP, the IDBMAN set will fail, as there is already an old mapping existing (NDE_1015). When you try to delete this new interface, it will try to clear the mapping in IDBMAN. But, it finds the old mapping (NDE_1015); hence, you must perform forced crash in idbman_if_clear_vlan_id and configure “ip flow-export destination 10.21.1.1 3000 vrf vrf_1120”.

PE2#show vlan internal usage | i NDE 1013 NDE 1015 NDE_vrf_0

Symptoms: Spoke router may crash when NHRP is cleared on another spoke.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with FlexVPN and with spoke-to-spoke tunnels.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt11210

Symptoms: Routers enrolled to hierarchical PKI on different subordinate CAs, may be unable to establish tunnels using IKEv1/IKEv2.

The “debug crypto isakmp” debugs will show that the certificate-request payload contains the issuer-name of the subordinate CA certificate, not the subject-name as it would be expected.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when the router does not have the Root CA certificate installed.

Workaround: Install the Root CA certificate in a separate trustpoint on all involved routers.

• CSCtt11748

Symptoms: RP crashes when route-map is deleted.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when removing route-map. The match and set <default> interface NULL0 causes the crash.

Workaround: Remove match and set clauses before removing route-map.

• CSCtt12919

Symptoms: Invalid queueing policy is accepted.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when a flat queueing policy is accepted, which used to be valid for FRTS.

Workaround: There is no workaround. The policy is invalid and will never be installed.

• CSCtt15963

Symptoms:

1. Inline service policy Configuration: Unable to configure monitor parameters once the flow monitor is specified. See the following example:

Router(config)#interface GigabitEthernet0/2/1 Router(config-if)#service-policy type performance-monitor inline input Router(config-if-spolicy-inline)#match access-group 110 Router(config-if-spolicy-inline)#flow monitor FM_DEF_TCP <--- After this point, all configs will print out an error message Router(config-if-spolicy-inline)#monitor parameters <----- Not accepted Router(config-spolicy-inline-mparam)#interval duration 10 <-------- Not accepted Router(config-spolicy-inline-mparam)#history 5 <------------ Not accepted

2. Non-inline service policy: Unable to change monitor parameters once the flow monitor is bound to a policy-map and attached to an interface. See the following example:

If an attempt is made to change monitor parameters of an already attached policy as below, it will be rejected.

Conditions:

1. This symptom is seen when configuring an inline service policy for performance monitor on ASR platform.

2. This symptom is seen when modifying monitor parameters of a non-inline service policy for performance monitor on a Cisco ASR platform.

Workaround:

1. To configure inline service policy, always specify all monitor parameters first and put the flow monitor monitor name command as the last command in the configuration.

2. To change monitor parameters, remove the service-policy by using the no service-policy command, make your changes, and then reattach the service-policy.

The above configuration restrictions do not apply if the enclosing policy-map is not attached to any interface. Also the changes do not apply if you specify an “empty” flow monitor, for example a flow monitor without an enclosing valid flow record.

• CSCtt16102

Symptoms: Tracebacks are seen after unconfiguring ACL configuration.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when configuring an ACL and removing the configuration. Tracebacks are observed on unconfiguring the ACL.

• CSCtt18743

Symptoms: On a Cisco IOS ISR G2 router with CUBE feature, intermittent registration fails in P2P mode registration pass-through.

Conditions: This symptom occurs if the CallID in the “show sip-ua registration passthrough status” is larger than a certain value.

Workaround: Reload the Cisco IOS ISR G2 CUBE router.

• CSCtt19442

Symptoms: Cisco 7600 subinterface that is configured for bridging after router reload sends traffic even when being shutdown. This traffic is sent from physical interface to which subinterface correspond and further received on the other side of the link.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when bridging is configured on subinterface.

Workaround:

- Doing a no shutdown, then shutdown on the subinterface clears the issue. - Remove bridging configuration from subinterface.

Deleting subinterface, and then recreating it does not fix the issue.

• CSCtt23038

Conditions: The symptom is observed with IP SLA configured.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt26532

Symptoms: With QoS policy-map configured on a BFD interface, modifying the QoS policy-map flaps the BFD session.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when BFD and QoS policy-maps are configured on the same interface.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Further Problem Description: QoS and BFD use a common flag that gets reset and set during QoS policy-map update, causing the BFD session to flap. BFD session flap leads to the OSPF session also going down.

• CSCtt26643

Symptoms: A Cisco ASR 1006 router running Cisco IOS Release 15.1(2)S2 or Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)S0a crashes with Signal 11.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco ASR 1006 router running the asr1000rp1-adventerprisek9.03.04.00a.S.151-3.S0a.bin image. The show version command causes the “Last reload reason: Critical software exception” error.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt28703

Workaround: After switchover, use the hw-module subslot reload command to recover from the problematic state, and traffic will resume.

• CSCtt32165

Symptoms: The Cisco Unified Border Element Enterprise on the Cisco ASR 1000 series router can fail a call with cause 47 immediately after the call connects.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with a sufficient call volume and a call flow that redirects many calls. The Cisco ASR router can fail to provision the forwarding plane for the new call due a race condition where a prior call is not completely cleaned up on the forwarding plane before trying to use the same structure again.

The show voice fpi stats command output indicates that a failure has occurred if the last column is greater than zero. For example:

show voip fpi stats | include provisn rsp

provisn rsp 0 32790 15

Workaround: There is no workaround. However, Cisco IOS Release 3.4.1 is less impacted by these call failures due to a resolution of defect CSCts20058. Upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 3.4.1 until such time as this defect is resolved. In a fully redundant Cisco ASR 1006 router, you can failover the ESP slots to clear the hung entries in the forwarding plane. Other platforms will require a reload.

• CSCtt33158

Symptoms: If WRED is already present and the queue limit is configured in packets then WRED thresholds become 0.

Conditions: Use the below mentioned config to repro the problem.

Workaround: Remove WRED and reattach it.

• CSCtt35379

Cisco IOS Software contains a vulnerability in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing protocol feature.

The vulnerability can be triggered when the router receives a malformed attribute from a peer on an existing BGP session.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can cause all BGP sessions to reset. Repeated exploitation may result in an inability to route packets to BGP neighbors during reconvergence times.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds for this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link:

Symptoms: EIGRP route updates are not sent to DMVPN spokes. The show ip eigrp inter command output shows pending routes in interface Q, which remains constant. The show ip eigrp int deta command output shows that the next sequence number of the interface remains the same (does not advance).

Conditions: This symptom occurs when EIGRP session flapped, resulting in routes being withdrawn and restored.

Workaround: Add a static route on any spoke that kicks out EIGRP learned routes from the RIB table; this will again kick the interface on the HUB.

• CSCtt36513

Symptoms: Crash seen on a Cisco ASR for the process IPSec key engine.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you have more than 4K sessions up on the ASR.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt36757

Symptoms: The following error message is noticed when configuring QoS on the interface of an ES+ card:

%X40G_QOS-DFC9-3-CFN: qos tcam programming failed for policymap AGGR-CHA-INTERFACE-OUTPUT-POLICY

Conditions: The symptom is observed after a misconfiguration in the interface. The interface was misconfigured as switchport which removed the QoS configuration from the interface configuration but not from the line card. After the interface was configured back to an L3 port, the issue started occurring when the same policy was reapplied.

Workaround: A new policy can be applied but the required policy cannot be applied again.

• CSCtt37516

Symptoms: Line card crash with priority traffic when QoS policy is applied.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with the QoS priority feature.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt39944

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt45654

Symptoms: In a DVTI IPSec + NAT-t scaling case, when doing session flapping continually, several Virtual-Access interfaces are “protocol down” and are not deleted.

Conditions: This symptom can be observed in a DVTI IPSec + NAT-t scenario when session flapping is done in the spoke side.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt46638

Symptoms: A Cisco 7604 running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE4/SRE5 crashes when changing the tunnel source and destination of an IPsec sVTI.

Conditions: The symptom is observed once the IPsec session is up and traffic is flowing through. If the tunnel source or destination is changed, the router crashes. This does not occur with a plain GRE tunnel.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt46730

Symptoms: Platform crashes during IKEv2 negotiation between the spoke and the hub with Cisco TrustSec (CTS) enabled on the Cisco 3945E platform.

Conditions: This symptom is seen with re-negotiation of IKEv2 SA between the peers.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt46873

Symptoms: In an MVPN setup, when the mdt default command is removed from under the VRF, unicast packets coming from the core, such as LDP and BGP, get dropped, leading to router isolation.

Conditions: This issue is primarily seen when mls mpls tunnel-recir is not configured on the box (or does not get enabled due to the absence of a sip10g device). In such a case, MDT tunnel VLAN gets allocated, but is never released, until the mdt default command is removed. Since the decap adjacency handling the unicast packets is a GRE decap, with an MDT tunnel VLAN allocated, removal/re-add of mdt default command will program the adjacency with the MDT tunnel VLAN. Another removal along with a race condition might leave the adjacency with the tunnel VLAN (now deallocated), thereby causing the unicast packets to be dropped.

Symptoms: IPv6 traffic is not flowing.

Conditions: This symptom is seen with IPSec v6 tunnels.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt90672

Symptoms: CFM MEP enters the INACTIVE state on deleting the subinterface.

Conditions: This symptom is observed under the following conditions:

1. Create a subinterface (vlan 104) for EOAM communication. Check “CC-Status” = Enabled.

2. Create a QinQ subinterface (vlan tags: 104 128) for subscriber on the same physical interface. Check “CC-Status” = Enabled.

3. Later, delete the QinQ subinterface from the step 2 above (DT’s provisioning system does it, for example, for a new policy change). The “CC-Status” goes to inactive.

Workaround: Unconfigure and reconfigure the continuity check command under the corresponding Ethernet CFM domain/service global configuration for this CFM MEP.

• CSCtt98823

Symptoms: A system that is running Cisco IOS may reload when a large number of routes are simultaneously deleted at the same time that the inetCidrRouteTable is being walked.

Conditions: This symptom is only likely to happen when there are large numbers of interfaces and routes within the system, and when large numbers of routes are being rapidly removed, and the system is loaded, at the same time that the inetCidrRouteTable is being walked.

Routes may be deleted from the system both directly, and also indirectly for example, when a significant number of PPPoE sessions are removed.

Workaround: Avoid walking the inetCidrRouteTable while significant numbers of routes are being removed from the routing system.

Symptoms: A router configured to be an IP voice gateway may crash.

Conditions: The exact conditions for this crash are currently unknown.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtu22952

Symptoms: Traffic stops forwarding suddenly when a port channel has an EVC configuration.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you have a port-channel interface with multiple member links on an LACP configured via EVC. By sending single source-destination traffic, it moves from one member link to another.

Workarounds: Configure bridge-domain under the EVC and:

1. Use etherchannel in FEC mode (mode ON) instead of LACP; or

2. Remove EVC.

• CSCtu25150

Symptoms: A Cisco router acting as a voice gateway may unexpectedly reload due to a SegV exception or bus error, or may experience a spurious access.

• CSCtu29729

Symptoms: An attempt to create a frame-relay sub-interface on a serial interface may result in error. The serial interface can then not be configured as a frame-relay interface.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when a serial interface is configured as a multi-link frame-relay bundle link with a subsequent attempt to change the configuration to a frame-relay interface.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtu29815

Symptoms: If the CCM sub is restarted before the switchover from PUB to SUB, the MGCP GW needs at least 10 minutes to finish the switchover.

Conditions: The symptom is observed under the following conditions:

- MGCP GWx1. - Version: c2800nm-spservicesk9-mz.151-3.T.bin. - CUCM: version 8.6.1x2. - Primary CCMPUB and CCMSUB.

Workaround: Restart the MGCP process from the gateway by using no mgcp and mgcp.

Further Problem Description: When the CCMSUB’s service is down (or machine is powered off), CM service sends a TCP FIN to MGCPGW, however from the debug of MGCPGW, the backhaul link between CCMSUB does not refresh as the TCP layer is stuck at CLOSEWAIT. It is confirmed that the MGCP GW is not notified about this at all, or the MGCP GW does not actively check the status the backup backhaul link.

Then CCMSUB’s started/powered on/recovered, however the CCMPUB is down/powered off this time. MGCP application itself will failover immediately, so does the backhaul link. However as the backhaul link’s status was not updated as the TCP layer is still in CLOSEWAIT, the backhaul link is in a false OPEN status and CCM will not be able to leverage this gateway to make outbound calls and all incoming calls are being impacted as well.

• CSCtu30649

Conditions: This symptom is observed when local connect is configured and a new ATM subinterface is configured on the same ATM main interface as the one with local connect PVC.

Workaround 1: Perform shut/no shut on local connect.

Workaround 2: Unconfigure/reconfigure local connect.

• CSCtu38244

Symptoms: After bootup, the GM cannot register and is stuck in “registering” state. Issuing the clear crypto gdoi command is required for a successful registration to the keyserver.

Conditions: The symptom is observed upon router bootup.

Workaround: Either do a clear crypto gdoi after a reload, or configure a second keyserver entry. This does not have to be an existing keyserver, it can be just a dummy address.

• CSCtu39819

Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1002 router configured as an RSVPAgent for Cisco Unified Communication Manager crashes under extended traffic.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco ASR 1002 router configured as an RSVPAgent for CUCM End-to-End RSVP feature. The router crashes after 45 minutes of traffic run with 150 simultaneous up MTP-RSVP sessions.

• CSCtu43731

Symptoms: On an RP1, RP switchover causes an RP reset.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with RP switchover under the following conditions:

- The router must be an RP1 - The configuration of Flexible NetFlow (FNF) or equivalent must be applied to 4000 or more interfaces. In this case of testing, 4000 DVTI interfaces were in use.

An equivalent of FNF is AVC or passive Video Monitoring. That is, those configured on a comparable number of interfaces will have the same effect.

Workaround 1: Prior to doing a controlled switchover, such as ISSU, deconfigure FNF from some interfaces to take it well under the threshold at which the issue can occur.

Workaround 2: Do not enable FNF monitoring.

• CSCtu51904

Symptoms: You can observe decrementing free memory by each repetition of the process by using the show memory statistics command under the active SP.

Conditions: The symptom is observed by removing “default mdt” under the VRF configuration and then adding it back. The memory leak is recognized on the active SP.

Workaround: Reload the router.

Workaround: Remove “switchport port-security” from ports associated with the VLAN on which the IGMP reports are received.

• CSCtu89771

Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1000 series router RP crashes while unconfiguring or removing the no area 0 authentication ipsec spi <> command.

This behavior is not observed at the first few instances of unconfiguring the above CLI.

Conditions: This symptom is observed only in automated tests where unconfiguring the authentication with the above CLI is executed multiple (approximately 3) times on the Cisco ASR 1000 series router. This leads to the RP crashes.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtu92213

Symptoms: Console is stuck and irresponsive.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when EVC with QoS is scaled, and traffic is being sent through many policy-maps with a large queue limit.

Workaround: Configure a smaller queue-limit under each class on all egress policy-maps in use.

• CSCtu92289

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtv19529

Symptoms: Router crashes on unconfiguring the last available DHCP pool. Crash will also be seen on running the no service dhcp.

Conditions: This crash can happen only if “DHCP Client” process is running on the router along with the DHCP relay processes (DHCPD Receive, DHCPD Timer, DHCPD Database).

The client process can be started:

1. from an DHCP autoinstall attempt during router startup (with no nvram config).

2. if the ip address dhcp is run on one of the interfaces.

3. if the router was used for DHCP proxy client operations.

The relay processes are started when a DHCP pool is created by the ip dhcp pool pool command.

Workaround: Have a dummy DHCP pool created using the ip dhcp pool dummy_pool command, and never delete this pool. Other pools can be created and removed at will, the dummy_pool should not be removed. In addition, do not execute the no service dhcp command.

• CSCtw62310

Symptoms: The cells keyword is added to “random-detect” whenever a policy-map is removed from an interface/map-class via “no service- policy”.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when removing the policy-map from map- class.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Further Problem Description: The CLI is technically valid if it has been manually configured as “cells” prior to the removal. The issue is that the template policy is being changed automatically to “cells” whenever the removal happens, regardless of what the original configuration was, and that is not the expected behavior.

• CSCtw62858

Symptoms: Cell payload scrambling is off by default for ATM DS1 interfaces on SPA-1CHOC3-CE-ATM.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you are using ATM or IMA DS1 T1 or E1 on any of these:

• CSCtw84664

A vulnerability exists in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) implementation in Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload. Affected devices must be configured to process SIP messages and for pass-through of Session Description Protocol (SDP) for this vulnerability to be exploitable.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds for devices that must run SIP; however, mitigations are available to limit exposure to the vulnerability.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the crypto map is applied to an interface and the crypto acl being modified is also in use.

Workaround: Remove the crypto map and apply the ACL changes to avoid the error.

• CSCtw86212

Symptoms: ISG is failing to support radius attribute filter configuration.

Conditions: ISG is setting up a session via EAP/RP authentication, whereas authorization radius attribute(s) should be passed on by ISG to its radius client and ISG should ignore it locally when creating the session. It occurs only in the case of radius proxy.

Workaround: Possibly do not send the undesired radius attributes to ISG in authentication/authorization replies and configure the required parameters on each radius-client (from an ISG perspective).

• CSCtw86712

Symptoms: RP crashes.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you apply certain tunnel configurations.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtw86793

Symptoms: A Cisco router running Cisco IOS 15.2T will generate phase II rekeys using IKEv1 instead IKEv2.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with an IKEv2 DVTI hub (tunnel mode GRE IP).

Workaround: Anchor the IKEv2 profile into the IPsec profile.

• CSCtw86880

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you clear the IP sessions and then immediately unconfigure the port-bundle that is in use. Issue seems to be timing related.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtw87783

Symptoms: Applying a “match-protocol” causes the Cisco ASR 1000 to freeze and then reload.

Conditions: This symptom appears when writing a “match-protocol ...” command while applying an MQC class-map on certain protocols (RTSP, NNTP).

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtw88094

Symptoms: The standby management processor reloads during configuration sync when there is a mismatch in the IP SLA configuration.

Conditions: This symptom occurs shortly after the “ip sla schedule X start specific_start_time” command is issued multiple times on the same probe instance. Hence, when the configuration is synced to the standby management processor, a PRC error occurs. The PRC error causes a reload of the standby management processor.

Workaround: Unschedule the probe before rescheduling for a specific start time.

• CSCtw88599

Symptoms: If “port acl” is configured, diagnostics for the port fail during bootup. If the port ACL is on a supervisor port then the router goes for a reload.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you configure “port acl” on a switch port and reload the router.

Workaround: Disable diagnostics for the module.

• CSCtw94319

Symptoms: Crash is seen at dhcpd_forward_request.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when the IP DHCP Relay feature is used in scaled configuration.

Workaround: Remove the ip dhcp relay information option vpn command, if possible. Otherwise, there is no workaround.

• CSCtw97513

Symptoms: STP BPDUs are not sent over more than one VFI neighbor.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with full mesh Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS). The STP does not converge end-to-end.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtw98456

Symptoms: A LAN-to-LAN VPN tunnel fails to come up when initiated from the router side, or when it is up (after being initiated by the peer). Incoming traffic is OK but no traffic is going out over the tunnel.

Inspection of the IVRF routing table shows that there is a route to the remote destination with the correct next hop, but the route does not point to the egress interface (the interface with the crypto map in the FVRF).

For example, the IVRF routing table should show:

S 10.0.0.0 [1/0] via 192.168.0.1, GigabitEthernet1/0/1

but instead it shows:

OL-26035-03 Rev. H0

Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)SResolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S

S 10.0.0.0 [1/0] via 192.168.0.1

where GigabitEthernet1/0/1 is the interface in the FVRF with the crypto map, and 192.168.0.1 is the next-hop in the FVRF through which the VPN peer is reachable.

Consequently, no traffic from the IVRF is routed to the egress interface, so no traffic is hitting the crypto map and hence the encryption counters (in show crypto ipsec sa) remain at zero.

Conditions: This has been observed on a Cisco ASR 1000 series router that is running Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)S1. (Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S4 has been confirmed not to be affected.) Other Cisco IOS versions and other hardware platforms may be affected.

Workaround: Configure a static route to the remote network. For example:

ip route vrf IVRF 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 GigabitEthernet1/0/1 192.168.0.1

where GigabitEthernet1/0/1 is the interface in the FVRF with the crypto map, and 192.168.0.1 is the next-hop in the FVRF through which the VPN peer is reachable.

• CSCtw99290

Symptoms: The source or destination group-address gets replaced by another valid group-address.

Conditions: The symptom is observed during the NVGEN process if it suspends (for example: when having a huge configuration generating the running-config for local viewing or during the saving of the configuration or during the bulk sync with the standby and the NVGEN process suspends). The global shared buffer having the address gets overwritten by another process before the NVGEN completes.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx00689

Symptoms: Speed configurations may be rejected on standby. This causes a standby sync failure.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you configure speed on the main interface.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx01329

Symptoms: A Cisco 2921 using Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)T and configured for crypto with access lists may have problems booting up. CPU hog messages and a watchdog crash may be seen.

Conditions: The conditions are undetermined.

Workaround: Use Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)T.

• CSCtx01604

Symptoms: Cisco IOS might crash on some 64-bit platform if CNS ID is configured as the IP address of some active network interface, and this IP address is changed in the middle of some critical CNS feature operations.

Conditions: This problem presents a bad planning of bootstrapping a Cisco IOS device via an unreliable network interface whose IP address could be changed any time during the bootstrapping.

Workaround: Do not use any dynamic network interface IP address as CNS ID.

• CSCtx01918

Symptoms: On the hub if you configure IVRF for static crypto-map then, after an invalid-spi recovery, the new ISAKMP has an incorrect IVRF (global). IPsec phase II fails with a “proxy identities not supported” error message. The other related issues seen are:

1. Initial contact not being sent when IKE SA is triggered by invalid-spi recovery.

OL-26035-03 Rev. H0

Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)SResolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S

2. When quick mode is initiated, it picks the self-initiated IKE SA and hence the QM packet is dropped at the other end.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with a router running HSRP with VRF aware IPsec static crypto map. When you shutdown the active router’s external interface, the IPsec tunnel failsover to the standby router. The standby router has an invalid-spi recovery configured. The invalid-spi recovery kicks but new ISAKMP has an incorrect IVRF and IPsec phase II fails.

Workaround: Manually clear SA at spoke site using clear crypto sa.

• CSCtx04712

Symptoms: Removal of crypto map hangs the router.

Conditions: The symptom is observed following removal of “gdoi crypto map” from interface.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx05464

Symptoms: CE multicast fails over VPLS when the PE device is an ME 3800x.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with VPLS configured in a mesh with at least five VPLS peers.

Workaround: For routing protocols, use unicast neighbors.

• CSCtx05942

Symptoms: The session to the service module from the Supervisor Fails. This can happen with SAMI, NAM, NAM-2 etc. modules.

For example, if the SAMI card is in Slot 2, the session slot 2 processor 0 command fails to create a telnet session and fails to give out the following messages:

SUP#session slot 2 proc 3 The default escape character is Ctrl-^, then x. You can also type ’exit’ at the remote prompt to end the session Trying 127.0.0.33 ... % Connection timed out; remote host not responding

Conditions: This symptom occurs with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S release. It is not observed with Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)S1 or lower version.

Workaround: Downgrading the Supervisor to Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)S1 or lower version resolves this issue.

• CSCtx09614

Symptoms: With the preconfigured ATM configuration, the standby RSP does not boot up.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when one of the RSPs is up and the running configuration has the ATM configuration under the controller.

Workaround: There is no workaround. Without an ATM configuration, the standby RSP goes to standby mode.

• CSCtx16782

Symptoms: FlexVPN hub to spoke stays in NEGOTIATING state.

Conditions: The symptom is observed on a FlexVPN spoke and seen at connection with hub.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx19332

Symptoms: A Cisco router crashes when “remote mep” is unlearned while auto EOAM operations are executing.

Conditions: This symptom is observed if “remote mep” is unlearned from the auto database (shutdown on interface or remote mep reload) while the “IP SLA ethernet-monitor jitter” operation is still running. The crash occurs if the initial control message times out.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx21206

Symptoms: BFDv6 hardware offloaded sessions do not come up with all IPv6 source addresses.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with interface source IPv6 addresses that have some specific bits in the 6th byte set like 6001:1:C::1..

Workaround: Reconfigure the source IPv6 addresses to some address that will not match the criteria mentioned in the above Conditions.

• CSCtx29543

Symptoms: A Cisco router may crash when an IPv4 default route update occurs or when doing the show ip route command.

Conditions: This symptom occurs under the following conditions:

1. At least one IPv4 route associated with each of the 23 possible supernet mask lengths exist.

2. A default route exists.

3. All routes corresponding to one of the 23 possible supernet mask lengths are removed.

The router may now crash when doing show ip route command or when default route is updated.

Workaround: There are two possible workarounds:

1. Insure that not all 23 supernet mask lengths are populated by doing route filtering.

2. If workaround #1 is not possible, then insure that at least one supernet route for all possible mask lengths exists at all times, for example by configuring summary routes that do not interfere with normal operation.

• CSCtx29557

Symptoms: A standby crashes @ fib_fib_src_interface_sb_init.

Conditions: All.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx32628

Symptoms: When a primary BGP path fails, the prefix does not get removed from the BGP table on the RR/BGP peer although a withdrawal message is received.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on an L3vpn CE which is dual homed via BGP to a PE under the following conditions:

– BGP full mesh is configured.

– BGP cluster-id is configured.

– address family vpnv4 is enabled.

– address family ipv4 mdt is enabled.

– The sending peer is only mcast RD type 2 capable, the receiving peer is MDT SAFI and RD type 2 capable.

Workaround: Remove the cluster-id configuration or hard-reset the BGP session on the affected Cisco router. However, removing the cluster-id does not guarantee protection.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx66011

A vulnerability in the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol of Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a memory leak that could lead to a device reload.

The vulnerability is due to incorrect handling of malformed IKE packets by the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted IKE packets to a device configured with features that leverage IKE version 1 (IKEv1).

Although IKEv1 is automatically enabled on a Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software when IKEv1 or IKE version 2 (IKEv2) is configured, the vulnerability can be triggered only by sending a malformed IKEv1 packet.

In specific conditions, normal IKEv1 packets can also cause an affected release of Cisco IOS Software to leak memory.

Only IKEv1 is affected by this vulnerability.

An exploit could cause Cisco IOS Software not to release allocated memory, causing a memory leak. A sustained attack may result in a device reload.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds to mitigate this vulnerability.

• CSCtx90299

Symptoms: The DMVPN IPsec sessions might get torn down and unable to re- establish themselves after experiencing link-flap events.

Conditions: In a scaled DMVPN environment, when physical-port link-state up/down events happen, there will be stormed IPSec events to tear down and/or re-negotiate the sessions; it might run into a bad state that it cannot establish new sessions. Hence, when those active sessions expire (by time period or volume based), it can no longer be re-created. After some period of time, no more active session remains on the router.

Workaround: Reload the router.

• CSCtx92665

Workaround: Use the following command: clear xconnect peer vcid.

• CSCty02403

Symptoms: EIGRP topo entry with bogus nexthop is created when more than one attribute is present in the route received from neighbors. It also tries to install one default route with bogus nexthop. So if you have a default route received from some neighbors, then that default route will also be flapped.

Conditions: It can only occur when you have more then one attribute set in any route received from a neighbor.

• CSCty04213

Symptoms: “Max aces 1000” is configured for an ACL and attached to a interface. Unconfiguring either ACL or ACEs under the ACL leads to a system crash.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when an ACL configured with 1000 ACEs is attached to interface for ingress or egress packet processing and later when either the ACL is configured or one of the ACEs is unconfigured in the ACL, you will see a crash of the Cisco ME 3600/ME 3800 device.

Workaround: There is no workaround unless you can configure the number of ACEs less than 1000 per ACL.

• CSCty06990

Symptoms: Intercepted packets are not forwarded to MD.

Conditions: The symptom occurs randomly after applying an LI tap on a Cisco 7600 with a SIP400 as the dedicated LI service card.

Workaround: Remove and reapply TAP.

• CSCty12055

Symptoms: A Cisco ASR 1000 6RU acting as IPsec-DMVPN hub with 4K sessions up on the router may unexpectedly reload at “IPSec background proc” within a few hours.

Conditions: The symptom is observed on a Cisco ASR 1000 6RU acting as IPsec- DMVPN hub.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty15615

Symptoms: Policy in direction A may disappear after removing policy from direction B. The policies no longer show up under the interface in sh policy-map int or show running.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with policies on both input and output directions, and then you remove from one of the directions. Happens on Cisco 7200/7600 platforms.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty16623

Symptoms: Traffic getting black holed because the VPN corresponding to the tunnel secondary VLAN gets programmed with punt adjacency.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with unconfiguring-reconfiguring the VRF. (The issue is independent of time gap between the configuration change.)

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty24707

Symptoms: Standby RP continually reboots and never recovers.

Conditions: The symptom is observed during an RP standby switchover with QoS applied to ISG sessions.

Workaround: Shut down the virtual template interface and do a switchover.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtu38244

Symptoms: After bootup, the GM cannot register and is stuck in “registering” state. Issuing the clear crypto gdoi command is required for a successful registration to the keyserver.

Conditions: The symptom is observed upon router bootup.

Workaround: Either do a clear crypto gdoi after a reload, or configure a second keyserver entry. This does not have to be an existing keyserver, it can be just a dummy address.

• CSCtu60863

Symptoms: IGMP reports do not get installed in the IGMP group list.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when the port-security feature is enabled on the switchport which is part of the VLAN on which the IGMP reports are received.

Workaround: Remove “switchport port-security” from ports associated with the VLAN on which the IGMP reports are received.

• CSCtu65655

Symptoms: RP1 crash due to corrupted memory.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with the following conditions:

– Ixia -- CES (IPsec static crypto map) -- UUT (IPSec DVTI server).

– UUT - 4RU(RP1/ESP10).

– Scale 1000 IKE * 1 VRF * 4 IPsec, total 4K IPsec sessions.

– CAC (30) enabled.

– DPD (60/15/on-demand) enabled.

– Reload CES (Cisco 7200 platform) every 10-15 minutes.

– 60M bidirectional traffic.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtw45592

Symptoms: The ntp server DNS-name command is not synced to the standby. When the no ntp server hostname command is issued later on the active, the standby reloads because the config was not added.

Conditions: When the device is reloaded or when the DNS name is not resolved, the config is not added. After the standby SYNC failure, then issuing the no ntp server hostname.

Workaround: Use IP/IPv6 addresses instead of the hostname for NTP configurations. The IP/IPv6 address can be found by pinging the hostname.

• CSCtw56439

• CSCtw61872

Symptoms: The router will crash when executing a complex sort on the flexible netflow cache from multiple CLI sessions.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when executing a complex sort with top- talkers on a show command from multiple CLI sessions (note that normal show commands without top-talkers are fine):

sh flow monitor QoS_Monitor cache sort highest counter packets top 1000sh flow monitor QoS_Monitor cache sort highest counter packets top 10000

Workaround: Do not execute complex sorts with top-talkers on the show output from multiple CLI sessions.

• CSCtw62310

Symptoms: The cells keyword is added to “random-detect” whenever a policy-map is removed from an interface/map-class via “no service- policy”.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when removing the policy-map from map-class.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Further Problem Description: The CLI is technically valid if it has been manually configured as “cells” prior to the removal. The issue is that the template policy is being changed automatically to “cells” whenever the removal happens, regardless of what the original configuration was, and that is not the expected behavior.

• CSCtw71564

Symptoms: Not all data packets are accounted for in the “show stats” output of the video operation.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with heavy load on the responder caused either by many video sessions or other processes.

Workaround: Reduce processor load on device running the responder.

• CSCtw78451

Symptoms: A Cisco ASR 1000 series router may reload when multiple users are logged in running show commands.

Conditions: This symptom is only seen when the Cisco ASR router is used as a DMVPN headend and there are hundreds of tunnels flapping.

Workaround: There is no workaround. However, this appears to be a timing issue when there is instability in a large-scale environment.

• CSCtw86712

Symptoms: RP crashes.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you apply certain tunnel configurations.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtw88094

Symptoms: The standby management processor reloads during configuration sync when there is a mismatch in the IP SLA configuration.

Conditions: This symptom occurs shortly after the “ip sla schedule X start specific_start_time” command is issued multiple times on the same probe instance. Hence, when the configuration is synced to the standby management processor, a PRC error occurs. The PRC error causes a reload of the standby management processor.

Workaround: Unschedule the probe before rescheduling for a specific start time.

Symptoms: If “port acl” is configured, diagnostics for the port fail during bootup. If the port ACL is on a supervisor port then the router goes for a reload.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you configure “port acl” on a switch port and reload the router.

Workaround: Disable diagnostics for the module.

• CSCtw94598

Symptoms: Web authentication does not work after an upgrade. NAS-Port-Type = Async.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when you upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.2 (58)SE2 or later or to the Cisco IOS 15.0(1)SE train.

Workaround: Change NAS-Port-Type on AAA Server to match the new value.

• CSCtw98456

Symptoms: A LAN-to-LAN VPN tunnel fails to come up when initiated from the router side, or when it is up (after being initiated by the peer). Incoming traffic is OK but no traffic is going out over the tunnel.

Inspection of the IVRF routing table shows that there is a route to the remote destination with the correct next hop, but the route does not point to the egress interface (the interface with the crypto map in the FVRF).

For example, the IVRF routing table should show:

S 10.0.0.0 [1/0] via 192.168.0.1, GigabitEthernet1/0/1

but instead it shows:

S 10.0.0.0 [1/0] via 192.168.0.1

where GigabitEthernet1/0/1 is the interface in the FVRF with the crypto map, and 192.168.0.1 is the next-hop in the FVRF through which the VPN peer is reachable.

Consequently, no traffic from the IVRF is routed to the egress interface, so no traffic is hitting the crypto map and hence the encryption counters (in show crypto ipsec sa) remain at zero.

Conditions: This has been observed on a Cisco ASR 1000 series router that is running Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)S1. (Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S4 has been confirmed not to be affected.) Other IOS versions and other hardware platforms may be affected.

Workaround: Configure a static route to the remote network. For example:

ip route vrf IVRF 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 GigabitEthernet1/0/1 192.168.0.1

where GigabitEthernet1/0/1 is the interface in the FVRF with the crypto map, and 192.168.0.1 is the next-hop in the FVRF through which the VPN peer is reachable.

• CSCtw99989

Symptoms: During normal operation a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services router may show the following traceback:

• CSCtx29543

Symptoms: A Cisco router may crash when an IPv4 default route update occurs or when doing the show ip route command.

Conditions: This symptom occurs under the following conditions:

1. At least one IPv4 route associated with each of the 23 possible supernet mask lengths exist.

2. A default route exists.

3. All routes corresponding to one of the 23 possible supernet mask lengths are removed.

The router may now crash when doing show ip route command or when default route is updated.

Workaround: There are two possible workarounds:

1. Insure that not all 23 supernet mask lengths are populated by doing route filtering.

2. If workaround #1 is not possible, then insure that at least one supernet route for all possible mask lengths exists at all times, for example by configuring summary routes that do not interfere with normal operation.

• CSCtx31175

Symptoms: Framed-IP-Address added twice in PPP service-stop accounting record.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with the following conditions:

1. User session exists on ASR1001.

2. Stop one user’s session by using clear subscriber session username xxx on ASR1001.

3. ASR1001 sends double “Framed-IP-Address” in service-stop accounting for one user’s session.

Workaround: Do not use clear subscriber session command to clear the session, instead use clear pppoe.

• CSCtx32628

Symptoms: When a primary BGP path fails, the prefix does not get removed from the BGP table on the RR/BGP peer although a withdrawal message is received.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on an L3vpn CE which is dual homed via BGP to a PE under the following conditions:

– BGP full mesh is configured.

– BGP cluster-id is configured.

– address family vpnv4 is enabled.

– address family ipv4 mdt is enabled.

– The sending peer is only mcast RD type 2 capable, the receiving peer is MDT SAFI and RD type 2 capable.

Workaround: Remove the cluster-id configuration or hard-reset the bgp session on the affected Cisco router. However, removing the cluster-id does not guarantee protection.

• CSCtx35692

Symptoms: On the Cisco ASR 1000 platform, while acting in a redundancy pair, when the standby ASR becomes active the dial-peers on the standby never change their state back to active causing all calls to fail. Calls that were active during the failover scenario will stay active in the new switchover. Only new calls are affected.

Workaround: Disable option keepalives from the dial-peers.

• CSCtx39936

Symptoms: A Cisco 7600 router configured for MPLS TE with tunnel load-sharing may punt traffic to MSFC when multiple TE paths to a given destination exist.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with a Cisco 7600 router that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE4, configured with multiple MPLS TE tunnels with load-sharing.

Workaround 1: In some cases, clearing the router may trigger proper reprogramming of the prefix in the hardware.

Workaround 2: Remove load-sharing from the TE tunnels.

• CSCtx48010

Symptoms: PIM neighbors on MDT tunnel continuously flap on a Cisco 7600 series router. Decapsulation path shows wrong rewrite index for flapping peers, instead of expected 7FFA recirculation index.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)S1. ES20 card as core-facing.

Workaround: Identifying the adjacency of the flapping peer and changing the rewrite index to 7FFA manually stops the flap:

Conditions: The symptom is observed when 1000 sessions are configured. Only 50 IPsec sessions are coming up.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx67474

Symptoms: Update message is sent with an empty NLRI when the message consists of 2byte aspath in ASPATH attribute and 4byte value aggregate attribute.

Conditions: This can happen when there is a mix of 2byte and 4byte attributes in the update message and the message is sent from a 2byte peer and there is a 4byte aggregator attribute.

Workaround: Move all the 2byte AS peers to a separate update-group using a non-impacting outbound policy like “advertisement-interval”.

• CSCtx71618

Symptoms: Router crash at process L2TP mgmt daemon.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with a Cisco ASR 1006 (RP2) running Cisco IOS Release 15.1(2)S.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx73452

Symptoms: The following symptoms are observed:

1. You send an ICMPv4 packet with IP option. It will be forwarded by ASR1001. IP options field includes “loose source routing” option.

2. ASR 1001 receives the packet. ASR 1001 has “no ip source-route” setting in its configuration.

3. ASR 1001 incorrectly overwrites the destination IP address of packet, which has source-route option set, and forwards it instead of dropping it.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with the Cisco ASR 1001 (2.5G ESP).

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtx73612

Symptoms: A Cisco ASR 1000 may reload while reading IPsec MIBs via SNMP and write a crashfile.

Conditions: The symptom is observed on a Cisco ASR 1000 that is running Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)S1.

Workaround: Do not poll or trap IPsec information via SNMP.

• CSCtx74342

Symptoms: After interface goes down or is OIRed, in a routing table you can temporarily see IPv6 prefixes associated with the down interface itself (connected routes) as OSPFv3 with the next hop interface set to the interface that is down.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with OSPFv3. The situation remains until the next SPF is run (5 sec default).

Workaround: Configuring SPF throttle timer can change the interval.

Further Problem Description: Here is an example of output after Ethernet0/0 goes down:

– Software: asr1001-universalk9.03.04.02.S.151-3.S2.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty02403

Symptoms: EIGRP topo entry with bogus nexthop is created when more than one attribute is present in the route received from neighbors. It also tries to install one default route with bogus nexthop. So if you have a default route received from some neighbors, then that default route will also be flapped.

Conditions: It can only occur when you have more then one attribute set in any route received from a neighbor.

Workaround: Do not set more then one attribute in the route.

• CSCty05150

Symptoms: Default route is removed from stub area after SSO.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when a PE router is configured as ABR for a stub area and generating a default route. After switchover the default route is withdrawn.

Workaround 1: Move the default route generation to CE router.

Workaround 2: Remove and reconfigure “area x stub no summary” on PE router.

• CSCty06191

Symptoms: When an IPHC configuration is applied on a multilink bundle interface and the interface is flapped, the IPHC configuration does not apply successfully on a linecard.

• CSCty06990

Symptoms: Intercepted packets are not forwarded to MD.

Conditions: The symptom occurs randomly after applying an LI tap on a Cisco 7600 with a SIP400 as the dedicated LI service card.

Workaround: Remove and reapply TAP.

• CSCty13647

Symptoms: Symptoms vary from one image to another. The following symptoms have been mostly observed:

1. Spurious memory access tracebacks from SPAN code even when SPAN is not configured.

2. RP crash when unconfiguring a SPAN session with a particular session number.

Conditions: Always seen on a particular SPAN session number.

Workaround: Use a different a SPAN session number for SPAN configurations to avoid the router crash. (There is no workaround to avoid spurious memory access messages.)

• CSCty37020

Symptoms: Learned inside BGP prefixes are not getting added into MC database.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with learned inside BGP prefixes.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty37445

Symptoms: A DMVPN hub router with a spoke which is an EIGRP neighbor. The spoke receives a subnet from hub and then advertises it back to the hub, bypassing split horizon.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when on the spoke you have a distribute list route-map command setting tags.

Workaround: Once you remove that command EIGRP works normally.

• CSCty43582

Symptoms: The port-channel load-balance-hash-algorithm CLI is not saved properly in the running-configuration.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when the hash algorithm chosen is one of src-ip, dst-ip, or src-dst-ip.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCty58300

Cisco IOS Software contains a vulnerability in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing protocol feature.

The vulnerability can be triggered when the router receives a malformed attribute from a peer on an existing BGP session.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can cause all BGP sessions to reset. Repeated exploitation may result in an inability to route packets to BGP neighbors during reconvergence times.

• CSCty58656

Symptoms: A Cisco 7600 series router with ES+ module may crash.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with the QoS policy map that has a name hash that is same as an existing policy used by the ES+ module and configuring a child policy or adding a child policy that is already in use.

Workaround: Do not call a child policy map.

• CSCty60467

Symptoms: SSM ID leak issues or SSM stats show unprovisioned segment counters. The leak can be observed with the command show ssm stats. Look for the following in the output:

Segment States Counters Type Class State Count IP-SIP SSS Unprov 1050 <<< the count indicates the IDs are getting leaked.

Alarm: Counter reaches 1 Million: indicates you may be nearing ID exhaust state.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with the following steps:

1. Configure “ip dhcp ping packets 10” on an ISG.

2. Initiate an L2-connected ISG DHCP session by triggering DHCP discover from the client.

3. Start TCP traffic from the client immediately.

4. The issue can be observed commonly on high CPS (greater than best practice).

5. Observed in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2 and XE 3.5.

Workaround: Configuring “ip dhcp ping packets 0” will bring down the rate of SSM ID leak.

Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S1Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S1 is a rebuild release for Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S. The caveats in this section are resolved in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S1 but may be open in previous Cisco IOS releases.

• CSCee38838

Symptoms: A crashdump may occur during a two-call-per-second load test on a gateway, and the gateway may reload.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco 3745 that runs Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)T and that functions as a gateway when you run a two-call-per-second load test that uses H.323, VXML, and HTTP. The crash occurs after approximately 200,000 calls.

Symptoms: A TLB exception may occur on a Cisco platform that functions as a PE router in an MPLS environment, and the following error message may be generated:

TLB (load or instruction fetch) exception, CPU signal 10 (BadVaddr : DEADBEF3)

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco platform when TACACs accounting and authorization is enabled and when the TACACs server is reachable through the global routing table.

Workaround: Disable AAA. If this not an option, there is no workaround.

• CSCtg57657

Symptoms: A router is crashing at dhcp function.

Conditions: This issue has been seen on a Cisco 7206VXR router that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.4(22)T3.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtg58029

Symptoms: After switchover, aaa_acct_session_id iss not issued to new sessions.

Conditions: This symptom occurs only after switchover.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtj33003

A vulnerability exists in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) implementation in Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload. Affected devices must be configured to process SIP messages and for pass-through of Session Description Protocol (SDP) for this vulnerability to be exploitable.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds for devices that must run SIP; however, mitigations are available to limit exposure to the vulnerability.

This advisory is available at the following link:

• CSCtj64807

Symptoms: Router crashes while issuing the show vlans dot1q internal command.

Conditions: The symptom is observed with the following conditions:

1. One QinQ subinterface configured with inner VLAN as “any”.

2. More than 32 QinQ subinterfaces configured with same outer VLAN.

3. All subinterfaces are removed except subinterface configured with “any” inner VLAN.

Workaround 1: For any Cisco 10000 series router which has had its first crash on any subinterface if the outer VLAN has second-dot1q VLAN as only “any”, immediately delete the sub-interface and recreate it. Then add a dummy VLAN/sub-interface to this outer VLAN.

Workaround 2: On any outer VLAN (in array state) if they have less than 5 inner VLANs, add a dummy VLAN/subinterface.

Workaround 3: For any Cisco 10000 series router which has not had a crash but has subinterface/outer VLAN with second-dot1q VLAN as only “any” and active sessions, add a dummy VLAN/sub-interface to this outer (tree state) VLAN.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when Windows AD is set with “Password expires on next log on” and the VPN client is initiating a call to NAS. NAS does not prompt for a new password and instead gives an Auth failure.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtk62763

Symptoms: A Cisco 7600 router equipped with multiple DFC line cards may experience an unexpected reload because of increased IGMP activity.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when IGMP joins and leaves (OIF churn) at approximately 160pps or more on DFCs with around 600 mroutes that have SVIs as OIFs.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtn02208

Symptoms: Old PerUser ACL is not removed on applying new ACL.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when applying a new PerUser ACL to an existing session. The old PerUser ACL that exists on the session is not removed.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtn40771

Symptoms: The process ACL Header in the show memory allocating- process totals command output leaks memory with per-user ACLs and PPP session churn. This will also cause the SSS feature manager process in the show process memory command output to appear to have a leak.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with IPv6 per-user ACLs and session churn.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCto71671

Symptoms: Using the radius-server source-ports extended command does not increase AAA requests source UDP ports as expected when Radius.ID has wrapped over, causing duplicate (dropped) requests on Radius, and forcing the Cisco ASR 1000 router to time out and retransmit.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with a high AAA requests rate, and/or slow Radius response time, leading to a number of outstanding requests greater than 255.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtq59923

Symptoms: OSPF routes in RIB point to an interface that is down/down.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when running multiple OSPF processes with filtered mutual redistribution between the processes. Pulling the cable on one OSPF process clears the OSPF database, but the OSPF routes associated with the OSPF process from that interface still point to the down/down interface.

Workaround: Configure “ip routing protocol purge interface”.

• CSCtr08680

Symptoms: The following error messages are displayed on active and standby respectively:

%ERROR: Standby doesn’t support this command BERT is running on this channel group, please abort bert first.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when trying to create a channel after BERT has been started irrespective of whether BERT is running or completed.

• CSCtr45551

Symptoms: T1/E1 controller does not get selected as network clock input source.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when network-clock input source t1/e1 command is configured immediately after reload of the router or within 5 minutes from router bootup.

Workaround: After the router reloads, wait for 5 to 6 minutes (until SETS gets initialized) and then configure T1/E1 as network clock input source.

• CSCtr47642

Symptoms: On Cisco IOS Release 15.2(3)T that is running BGP configured as RR with multiple eGBP and iBGP non-clients and iBGP RR clients and enabling the BGP best-external feature using the bgp additional-paths select best- external command, a specific prefix may not have bestpath calculated for a long time.

Conditions: The problem occurs on a certain condition of configuration of the below commands, and a few prefixes are withdrawn during the configuration time:

1. Configure: bgp additional-paths install under vpnv4 AF

2. Configure: bgp additional-paths select best-external

Immediately disable backup path calculation/installation using the no bgp additional-paths install command.

The problem does not appear if both of the above commands are configured with more than a 10-second delay as the commands will be executed independently in two bestpath runs instead of one.

Workaround: Configure the bgp additional-paths install command and the bgp additional-paths select best-external command with a delay of 10 seconds.

• CSCtr88739

Symptom 1: The routes may not get imported from the VPNv4 table to the VRF. Label mismatch may also be seen.

Symptom 2: The routes in BGP may not get installed to RIB.

Conditions: These symptoms are only observed with routes with the same prefix, but a different mask length. For example, X.X.X.X/32, X.X.X.X/31, X.X.X.X/30 ..... X.X.X.X/24, etc. These issues are not easily seen and are found through code walkthrough.

For symptom 1, each update group is allocated an advertised-bit that is stored at BGP net. This issue is seen when the number of update groups increases and if BGP needs to reallocate advertised-bits. Also, this symptom is observed only with a corner case/timing issue.

For symptom 2, if among the same routes with a different prefix length, if more specific routes (15.0.0.0/32) do not have any bestpath (for example, due to NH not being reachable or inbound policy denying the path, but path exists due to soft-reconfiguration), then even if a less specific route (15.0.0.0/24) has a valid bestpath, it may not get installed.

Workaround for symptom 1: Remove import-route target and reconfigure route-target.

Workaround for symptom 2: Clear ip route x.x.x.x to resolve the issue.

• CSCtr91106

A vulnerability exists in the Cisco IOS Software that may allow a remote application or device to exceed its authorization level when authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) authorization is used.

• CSCts70790

Symptoms: A Cisco 7600 router ceases to advertise a default route configured via “neighbor default-originate” to a VRF neighbor when the eBGP link between a Cisco 7600 router and its VRF eBGP peer flaps.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when another VPNv4 peer (PE router) is advertising a default route to the Cisco 7600 router with the same RD but a different RT as the VRF in question. When the VRF eBGP connection flaps, the VRF default is no longer advertised.

Workaround: Remove and re-add the neighbor default- originate command on the Cisco 7600 router and do a soft clear for the VRF neighbor.

• CSCts80643

Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software contain a vulnerability in the RSVP feature when used on a device configured with VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instances. This vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an interface wedge, which can lead to loss of connectivity, loss of routing protocol adjacency, and other denial of service (DoS) conditions.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when clearing the sessions after a long time, and the memory leak increases incrementally. Leak is very slow.

Workaround 1: Do not bring down all sessions together.

Workaround 2: Do not tear down the sessions (scale numbers: 4k and above) together from different sources (say clearing PPP sessions and ISG sessions in lab; in field, clearing might happen via other triggers) simultaneously with no time gap between them.

Workaround 3: Do not have accounting accuracy configured.

Workaround 4: In this case, ISG Features are applied on TC and Session both. If we do not apply the features on the TCs, chances of this happening are less.

• CSCts97124

Symptoms: Active crashes upon configuring a large number of TP tunnels with scale configurations either using copy paste or loading from a configuration file.

Conditions: This symptom is not very consistent, not reproducible all the time, and happens only on adding tunnel TP configurations. The crash occurs when the protect-lsp is being configured.

Workaround: Manually add the MPLS-TP tunnels through CLI instead of copying from a configuration or copy pasting a large configuration.

• CSCtt32165

Symptoms: The Cisco Unified Border Element Enterprise on the Cisco ASR 1000 series router can fail a call with cause 47 immediately after the call connects.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with a sufficient call volume and a call flow that redirects many calls. The Cisco ASR router can fail to provision the forwarding plane for the new call due a race condition where a prior call is not completely cleaned up on the forwarding plane before trying to use the same structure again.

The show voice fpi stats command output indicates that a failure has occurred if the last column is greater than zero. For example:

show voip fpi stats | include provisn rsp

provisn rsp 0 32790 15

Workaround: There is no workaround. However, Cisco IOS Release 3.4.1 is less impacted by these call failures due to a resolution of defect CSCts20058. Upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 3.4.1 until such time as this defect is resolved. In a fully redundant Cisco ASR 1006 router, you can failover the ESP slots to clear the hung entries in the forwarding plane. Other platforms will require a reload.

• CSCtt43843

• CSCtu19450

Symptoms: A system that is running Cisco IOS may reload when a large number of routes are simultaneously deleted at the same time that the inetCidrRouteTable is being walked.

Conditions: This symptom is only likely to happen when there are large numbers of interfaces and routes within the system, and when large numbers of routes are being rapidly removed, and the system is loaded, at the same time that the inetCidrRouteTable is being walked.

Routes may be deleted from the system both directly, and also indirectly for example, when a significant number of PPPoE sessions are removed.

Workaround: Avoid walking the inetCidrRouteTable while significant numbers of routes are being removed from the routing system.

• CSCtu43731

Symptoms: On an RP1, RP switchover causes an RP reset.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with RP switchover under the following conditions:

– The router must be an RP1

– The configuration of Flexible NetFlow (FNF) or equivalent must be applied to 4000 or more interfaces. In this case of testing, 4000 DVTI interfaces were in use.

An equivalent of FNF is AVC or passive Video Monitoring. That is, those configured on a comparable number of interfaces will have the same effect.

Workaround 1: Prior to doing a controlled switchover, such as ISSU, deconfigure FNF from some interfaces to take it well under the threshold at which the issue can occur.

Workaround 2: Do not enable FNF monitoring.

• CSCtu87383

• CSCtv19529

Symptoms: Router crashes on unconfiguring the last available DHCP pool. Crash will also be seen on running the no service dhcp.

Conditions: This crash can happen only if “DHCP Client” process is running on the router along with the DHCP relay processes (DHCPD Receive, DHCPD Timer, DHCPD Database).

The client process can be started:

1. from an DHCP autoinstall attempt during router startup (with no nvram config).

2. if the ip address dhcp is run on one of the interfaces. 3) if the router was used for DHCP proxy client operations.

The relay processes are started when a DHCP pool is created by the ip dhcp pool pool command.

Workaround: Have a dummy DHCP pool created using the ip dhcp pool dummy_pool command, and never delete this pool. Other pools can be created and removed at will, the dummy_pool should not be removed. In addition, do not execute the no service dhcp command.

• CSCtw43640

%C7600_PWR-SP-3-PSUNKNOWN: Unknown power supply in slot 1 (idprom read

failed).

%OIR-SP-6-INSPS: Power supply inserted in slot 1

%C7600_PWR-SP-4-PSOK: power supply 1 turned on.

The show power command shows that the power supply only provides 919W. Most of the line cards cannot be powered up.

Conditions: This symptom is observed in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S only. The problem does not occur in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)S1. PWR-4000-DC and PWR-6000-DC are confirmed to be affected by this problem.

• CSCtg68047

Symptoms: The router reloads.

Conditions: The symptom is observed if several tunnels with crypto protection are being shut down on the router console and the show crypto sessions command is executed simultaneously on another terminal connected to the router.

Workaround: Wait until the tunnels are shut down before issuing the show command.

• CSCtj58706

Symptoms: On executing ISSU runversion, the standby RP reloads multiple times before reaching hot-standby.

Conditions: This symptom is observed during ISSU upgrade/downgrade with the iso1-iso2 image. This issue is seen with scaled configuration of 7000 L2VPN, 300 BGP, 300 EIGRP, and 8000 EVC sessions.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtk62763

Symptoms: A Cisco 7600 router equipped with multiple DFC line cards may experience an unexpected reload because of increased IGMP activity.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when IGMP joins and leaves (OIF churn) at approximately 160pps or more on DFCs with around 600 mroutes that have SVIs as OIFs.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtn83900

Symptoms: After performing legacy mode or native mode subpackage ISSU with flexible NetFlow configured, the interface to monitor bindings may not be present on the newly active RP.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when a legacy mode or native mode subpackage ISSU is performed with FNF configured.

Workaround: Remove the FNF monitors prior to the subpackage ISSU. Add the monitors back to the interface configuration after the upgrade. Alternatively, use super-package ISSU, which does not have this limitation.

• CSCto71671

Symptoms: Using the radius-server source-ports extended command does not increase AAA requests source UDP ports as expected when Radius.ID has wrapped over, causing duplicate (dropped) requests on Radius, and forcing the Cisco ASR 1000 router to time out and retransmit.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with a high AAA requests rate, and/or slow Radius response time, leading to a number of outstanding requests greater than 255.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtq80891

Symptoms: The Processor Pool for the Cisco IOS memory is used up with most of the buffers in the “IPv6 PIM input queue”.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the following topology:

IXIA [IPv6 Mcast Source] ------ TR1 (ASR1k) ------|500 IPv6 over IPv4 GRE

Tunnels | ------ UUT (ASR1k) [IPv6 RP] ------ |500 IPv6 over IPv4 GRE

Tunnels | ------ TR2 (7200) ------ IXIA [IPv6 Mcast MLD Hosts]

– 500 IPv6 Sources sending Mcast traffic to 500 IPv6 Mcast groups

– 500 PIM-RP on UUT

– 500 PIM-RP Acl to make sure 1 Mcast-group/Tunnel

– The GRE tunnels could be configured with tunnel protection or not.

The reproduce procedure is as follows:

1. Copy configurations (IPv6 over IPv4 GRE Tunnel Protections and IPv6 Mcast included) to TR1, TR2, and UUT.

2. Launch Mcast traffic (500M) on IXIA.

3. Hit the Cisco IOS memory depletion issue on UUT.

Workaround: Configure the punt policer for PIM register packets as follows:

platform punt-policer 55 limit-number platform punt-policer 55 limit-number high

The limit-number above is a number between 1000-2000.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts13255

Symptoms: Standby SUP crash is observed on the Cisco 7609 router after upgrade to c7600s72033-advipservicesk9-mz.150-1.S3a.bin. This issue is random and recurring. Tracebacks are generated with the following error message:

%CPU_MONITOR-STDBY-3-PEER_FAILED: CPU_MONITOR peer process has failed to receive heartbeats

Conditions: This symptom is observed on the Cisco 7609 router after upgrade to c7600s72033-advipservicesk9-mz.150-1.S3a.bin. This issue is also seen with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts20632

Symptoms: If subclassification and classification for the protocol is configured in a different class map, configuring the port map and assigning a different port (other than 80) for HTTP causes unexpected error messages to be displayed.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when subclassification and protocol classification is configured for HTTP and a port map is configured for HTTP.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts47550

Symptoms: When applying protocol attributes policy rules, traceback may be seen.

Symptoms: With 1K EoMPLS PWs, 6 percent performance drop is observed in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5 compared to Cisco IOS XE Release 3.4 performance.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with 1K EoMPLS PWs in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts63658

Symptoms: Multicast traffic do not flow over EVCs on the port-channel.

Conditions: This symptom is observed during router reload.

Workaround: Reconfigure after the router reload. Configure regular EFPs before EFPs on the PC in the same BD.

• CSCts82598

Symptoms: Incorrect IP from the NAT pool is chosen for translation, when one protocol exhausts all ports of all IPs and another protocol traffic is received.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when one protocol (for example, TCP) exhausts all ports of all IPs in a pool, and only one IP from the pool is selected for translation, thus limiting the capacity of creating translations. This happens only when one protocol completely exhausts all ports and then another protocol traffic starts. This usually is not the case in customer environments that mostly see both TCP and UDP traffic hitting the box time.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCts97925

Symptoms: IPv6 pings within VRF fail, where the next-hop (egress) is part of the global.

Conditions: This symptom is observed only with IPv6, and not with IPv4.

Workaround: Disable IPv6 CEF.

• CSCtt01056

Symptoms: When a shell map configuration includes a parameter with no default value, that is, parameter1=””, “<>”, or ““, then that parameter should be considered mandatory. During service activation of that shell map, if parameter1 is not provided by Radius, the activation should be rejected:

- In case of service activation from Access-Accept, the session should be terminated. - In case of service activation from COA, the COA should be NAKed, and the services rolled back.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with a shell map configuration when some parameters do not have the default value configured, such as param=””, “<>”, or ““. This issue is seen with service activation with a missing mandatory parameter.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt02645

Symptoms: CPUHOG is seen due to flapping of all NHRP.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with scaling to 3k spokes on RP1.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt04724

Symptoms: On PPPoEoX, when activating multiple services from Access-Accept with long Cisco-SSG-Account-Info strings, if the aggregated string length exceeds the current limit of 256 characters, then the service activation fails, a traceback is seen, and the session is allowed to establish, no services will be applied in the ingress and/or egress directions.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the aggregated services string length exceeds the limit (256 characters).

Workaround: The session should be terminated instead. In case of service activation from CoA, if the cumulative services string length exceeds the limit, then the last CoA should be NAKed, and the services rolled back to the previous state.

• CSCtt11210

Symptoms: Routers enrolled to hierarchical PKI on different subordinate CAs, may be unable to establish tunnels using IKEv1/IKEv2.

The “debug crypto isakmp” debugs will show that the certificate-request payload contains the issuer-name of the subordinate CA certificate, not the subject-name as it would be expected.

Conditions: The symptom is observed when the router does not have the Root CA certificate installed.

Workaround: Install the Root CA certificate in a separate trustpoint on all involved routers.

• CSCtt11558

Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1000 router displays the “INVALID_GPM_ACCESS” error message due to invalid GPM load. This may cause unexpected Embedded Services Processors (ESP) reload.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when a small packet is sent from a BDI interface to an Ethernet service instance with either the rewrite egress tag command or the rewrite ingress tag command with the symmetric option present.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt21257

Symptoms: After a reload or switchover, all interfaces on one or more IMs may be down down. The state of the IMs is “ok, active”, which is shown in the show platform command output.

Conditions: This symptom is occasionally observed after a reload or a switchover.

Workaround: Power cycle the box.

• CSCtt26532

Symptoms: With QoS policy-map configured on a BFD interface, modifying the QoS policy-map flaps the BFD session.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when BFD and QoS policy-maps are configured on the same interface.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Further Problem Description: QoS and BFD use a common flag that gets reset and set during QoS policy-map update, causing the BFD session to flap. BFD session flap leads to the OSPF session also going down.

• CSCtt33937

Symptoms: Configure port 7 on the Gigabit IM as a port to forward traffic using IP routing.

ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0

Conditions: This symptom is observed when traffic is flowing well. When you perform a switchover, and once the standby becomes the new active, the traffic does not hit the ingress counter of the interface itself. On checking the links status using the registers, the SGMI link appears out of sync.

Workaround: There is no workaround. Reload the box when this symptom is observed.

• CSCtt34361

Symptoms: During a soak test with 1800 PPPoE sessions flapping with the IPv4 Saving feature enabled + per-user ACLv4 and ACLv6, there is no ISG service. After 56 iterations, one memory snapshot is taken every four iterations, that is, roughly 270 seconds per iteration. The test duration is 4 hours, with total 100800 sessions established with an average of 7cps.

Conditions: This symptom occurs under the following conditions:

1. No active session is there in the router.

2. Establish 1800 PTA dual-stack sessions with per-user ACL from Radius + IPV4 Saving feature.

3. Wait till all sessions come UP.

4. Take a memory leak snapshot “high”.

5. Wait for all sessions to time out on the Idle timer (no traffic).

6. Wait for all sessions to go DOWN.

7. Take a memory snapshot.

8. Loop back to 1.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt45654

Symptoms: In a DVTI IPSec + NAT-t scaling case, when doing session flapping continually, several Virtual-Access interfaces are “protocol down” and are not deleted.

Conditions: This symptom can be observed in a DVTI IPSec + NAT-t scenario when session flapping is done in the spoke side.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt45801

Symptoms: The DMVPN HUB RP crashes with the default EIGRP timer when scaling to 4k spokes.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when scaling to 4k spokes.

Workaround: Changing the EIGRP timer to longer may reduce the chances of a crash.

• CSCtt70133

Symptoms: The RP resets with FlexVPN configuration.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when using the clear crypto session command on the console.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt70346

• CSCtt70498

Symptoms: After a reload or switchover, the state of F0 or F1 may become “disconnecting” instead of “ok, active/standby”, which is shown in the show platform command output. As a result, the corresponding RSP does not forward traffic.

Conditions: This symptom is occasionally observed after a reload or a switchover.

Workaround: Power cycle the box.

• CSCtt94147

Symptoms: Nile manager crash is observed.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the following conditions:

– VPLS in the core.

– REP in the access.

– The access-side REP segment flaps a few times.

Symptoms: The router crashes before all sessions come up.

Conditions: This symptom occurs before all sessions come up.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt95577

Symptoms: After creating the 994th VC on a T1/E1 IM on Rudy, the traffic flow stops. Packets get dropped on the egress on Rudy.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when ping starts to fail on all the pre-existing VCs upon adding the 994th VC. The working is unaffected till 993 VCs.

Workaround: Delete the 994th VC to make the pre-existing VCs forward traffic.

• CSCtt97164

Symptoms: If the router interface is flapped, the HSRP message may be dropped by the punt/inject path.

Conditions: This symptom is seen if the router interface is flapped.

Workaround: Disable the inject bypass.

• CSCtt97473

Symptoms: After a reload or switchover, the RSP may reset during bootup.

Conditions: This symptom is observed occasionally after a reload or switchover.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtt98574

Symptoms: After a reload or switchover, the state of one or more IMs may become “out of service” instead of “ok, active/standby”, which is shown in the show platform command output. As a result, the corresponding interfaces do not come up.

Conditions: This symptom is occasionally observed after a reload or a switchover.

Workaround: Power cycle the box.

Workaround: Reload the box.

• CSCtu02280

Symptoms: When running the PTP session for more than 12 hours, PTPD may crash.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when running the PTP session for a long time.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtu02476

Symptoms: An SSO followed by a change in the xconnect MTU results in the pseudowire in the redundant RP to go down. The pseudowire in the Active RP remains up and running. A subsequent SSO results in the pseudowire to go down.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with “encapsulation default” at that end of the pseudowire where SSO is performed. An SSO followed by a change in the MTU value, and then a subsequent SSO, causes the pseudowire to go down. This issue is also seen in a setup with redundant pseudowires, where the primary and backup pseudowires configured under the service instance do not come up after changing the MTU with SSO.

Workaround: Execute “no xconnect” under the service instance, and then reconfigure the pseudowire with the new MTU value under the service instance.

• CSCtu03699

Symptoms: The Nile Manager crashes.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when reloading the TP tunnel endpoint multiple times.

Symptoms: On an RP1, RP switchover causes an RP reset.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with RP switchover under the following conditions:

– The router must be an RP1.

– The configuration of Flexible NetFlow (FNF) or equivalent must be applied to 4000 or more interfaces. In this case of testing, 4000 DVTI interfaces were in use.

An equivalent of FNF is AVC or passive Video Monitoring. That is, those configured on a comparable number of interfaces will have the same effect.

Workaround 1: Prior to doing a controlled switchover, such as ISSU, deconfigure FNF from some interfaces to take it well under the threshold at which the issue can occur.

Workaround 2: Do not enable FNF monitoring.

Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)SResolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S

• CSCtu53275

Symptoms: Out to in traffic is not handled properly. The lookup on inside global is only done in the global routing table and not in the VRF routing table.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the following configuration on the Cisco ASR 1000 series router:

ip nat inside source static 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.1 vrf test-pe1

In to out traffic is handled properly.

Workaround: A static route in the global routing table for each of these addresses (assuming they are unique) should provide a workaround for this issue.

• CSCtu98727

Symptoms: ANCP shaping with Model F fails with BRR classes.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with BRR classes, but works fine with LLQ (priority level) classes.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

• CSCtv22685

Symptoms: The ESP on the Cisco ASR 1000 router crashes or the GRE tunnel does not switch over when the destination interface is removed or the route changes, causing the tunnel interface to stop forwarding packets.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when multiple GRE tunnels are configured on the same interface(s) with a high traffic rate across the tunnels.

Workaround: Only configure one GRE tunnel per physical interface.

Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)SAll the caveats listed in this section are resolved in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S. This section describes only severity 1, severity 2, and select severity 3 caveats.

• CSCtj33003

A vulnerability exists in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) implementation in Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload. Affected devices must be configured to process SIP messages and for pass-through of Session Description Protocol (SDP) for this vulnerability to be exploitable.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds for devices that must run SIP; however, mitigations are available to limit exposure to the vulnerability.

This advisory is available at the following link:

http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20120926-sip

• CSCtr28857

A vulnerability in the Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) implementation of Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a reload of an affected device. Repeated attempts to exploit this vulnerability could result in a sustained denial of service (DoS) condition.

• CSCts80643

Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software contain a vulnerability in the RSVP feature when used on a device configured with VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instances. This vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an interface wedge, which can lead to loss of connectivity, loss of routing protocol adjacency, and other denial of service (DoS) conditions. This vulnerability could be exploited repeatedly to cause an extended DoS condition.

A workaround is available to mitigate this vulnerability.
